France has summoned Israel’s ambassador following allegations of mistreatment of international activists aboard a Gaza-bound flotilla. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced the decision in a post on X, calling the behavior of Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir toward the flotilla workers unacceptable. He said France demanded an explanation and emphasized that ensuring the safety of French citizens remains a government priority.
Barrot added that while France does not support the flotilla’s strategy, Israel must treat detained French participants with respect and release them promptly. The move follows a similar diplomatic step by Italy, which earlier summoned the Israeli ambassador over the same incident.
A video circulating on social media showing alleged mistreatment of the flotilla workers has sparked widespread criticism internationally. Analysts noted that the episode has intensified diplomatic pressure on Israel from European countries amid ongoing tensions surrounding Gaza.
