A video posted by Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir has circulated on social media as detainees on the Global Sumued Flotilla arrived at the port of Ashdod.

The video shows those detained being held, bound and kneeling.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee has demanded the proper and humane treatment of Irish citizens, describing the video as "utterly appalling and unacceptable".

She added that the Irish embassy has raised the matter with authorities there.

430 activists, including 14 Irish people, were captured by the Israeli Defense Forces while onboard a flotilla bringing aid to Gaza.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the deportation of those detained from the Global Sumud Flotilla as soon as possible.

He also criticised his National Security Minister for posting the video online showing detainees being taunted as they arrive.
