Amman, May 24 (Petra) — The Foreign Ministers of Jordan, the United
Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and
Egypt have condemned in the strongest terms the abhorrent,
humiliating, and unacceptable actions taken by extremist Israeli
Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir against participants of the Gaza-bound
flotilla during their detention by Israel.

In a joint statement, the ministers asserted that the deliberate,
public humiliation inflicted by Ben-Gvir upon the detainees
constitutes a shameful assault on human dignity and a clear violation
of Israel’s obligations under international law, including
international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

The ministers also denounced and condemned in the strongest terms the
unlawful, extremist acts of incitement and violence perpetrated by
Ben-Gvir and other Israeli officials against Palestinians across the
Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Furthermore, the ministers warned that Ben-Gvir’s provocative actions
fuel hatred and extremism, while obstructing ongoing efforts to
achieve a just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution.

The statement demanded that Ben-Gvir be held accountable for his
actions, calling for concrete measures to put an end to his repeated
provocations, incitement, and violations. It urged international
action to prevent him from continuing his threats and to ensure that
such conduct is neither tolerated nor repeated.

The foreign ministers concluded by emphasizing the critical necessity
of protecting human rights, safeguarding the dignity of all
detainees, ensuring their humane treatment, and guaranteeing full
compliance with international law throughout the Occupied Palestinian
Territory.
