The opening of a file by the Rome Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office with very heavy charges, ranging <strong>from kidnapping to torture<\/strong>, shows that<strong> the handling of the 428 detainees has crossed the boundaries of international legality<\/strong>. Faced with this scenario, Italian institutions had to react with a toughness never seen before: President <strong>Sergio Mattarella<\/strong> branded as &#8220;low&#8221; the level touched by the Israeli Security Minister for the uncivilized treatment inflicted on the volunteers, while Prime Minister <strong>Giorgia Meloni <\/strong>spoke of a red line now crossed, ordering the immediate summoning of the Tel Aviv ambassador.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-propaganda-della-forza\"><strong>The propaganda of force<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DYj9L5HuUtR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\"  background:#FFF;

The human rights lawyers&#8217; association <strong>Adalah<\/strong>, which had access to Ashdod port, called the behavior &#8220;a criminal policy of abuse and humiliation.&#8221; According to the association, Israeli forces inflicted physical violence &#8211; tasers, rubber bullets, suspected rib fractures &#8211; and sexual harassment on activists; at least three people were hospitalized.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rome prosecutors opened a file for torture, kidnapping, damage and robbery. According to reports gathered by magistrates, the boats were allegedly intercepted &#8220;in international waters,&#8221; in the SAR zone where Egypt is tasked with coordinating rescues, without hostility from the crews. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The political crux is here: Israel no longer merely forces the limits of international law. It does so openly, turning the exception into a political message. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-parole-dell-europa\"><strong>The words of Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The diplomatic reaction this time was sharper than usual. France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada and Italy summoned Israeli ambassadors. <strong>EU High Representative Kaja Kallas called the treatment of the activists &#8220;degrading and unacceptable<\/strong>,&#8221; adding that Ben-Gvir&#8217;s conduct was &#8220;unworthy of anyone holding public office in a democracy.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Italian oppositions, such as Nicola Fratoianni, are calling for &#8220;something concrete.&#8221; Riccardo Ricciardi, group leader in Montecitorio of the 5 Star Movement, speaks of sanctions and the need to stop trade agreements with Israel. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-l-impunita-come-sistema\"><strong>Impunity as a system<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For months the Netanyahu government has been acting within a framework of substantial international impunity. And what has occurred undermines the very principle of international legality. If a government can board ships in international waters, detain foreign activists, publicly humiliate foreign nationals and members of parliament from other countries and then get away with a few diplomatic notes, then the law disappears.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feeling today is that something is finally beginning to change even in Western chancelleries. The distancing from Ben-Gvir, even within Israel, shows this. But words are soon forgotten, actions remain. And what has happened demands a concrete response, a fundamental change in relations with a state that flouts the law.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the boarding of the Flotilla to the Rome Prosecutor&#8217;s Office&#8217;s investigation for torture: Western outrage rises in the face of Minister Ben-Gvir&#8217;s &#8216;propagandistic display, but without sanctions and a halt to trade agreements diplomacy risks beingineffective<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":18818,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAowscnaCw:productID":"","_app_feed_target":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1784,1643],"tags":[1786,2421],"class_list":["post-18817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conflicts","category-news","tag-gaza","tag-global-sumud-flotilla"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Israel assaults international law, at sea and on land &#8226;
