Nations summon Israeli envoys

Israel is facing a wave of international condemnation following the deportation of hundreds of activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Activists from Italy, South Korea, and Ireland have alleged they were subjected to physical abuse, including beatings and the use of tasers, while in Israeli custody.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has demanded an apology, while other European nations have summoned Israeli envoys to express their concern.

The Israeli Prison Service has dismissed the allegations as lies, maintaining that all procedures were followed correctly.
