It's a matter of humane treatment of civilians, and I can assure you that we are acting with absolute urgency." The activists were aboard a flotilla that was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters on Tuesday and later taken to an Israeli port.
Canada will summon the Israeli ambassador to protest after National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shared a video taunting detained Gaza flotilla activists, Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Wednesday.
"What we've seen, including the video shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is deeply troubling and absolutely unacceptable," she told reporters on a conference call. "This is a matter we take very, very seriously. It's a matter of humane treatment of civilians, and I can assure you that we are acting with absolute urgency."
