Poland Bans Israeli Minister Ben Gvir from Country Over Treatment of Activists

Poland imposed a five-year entry ban on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir following his conduct toward detained activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla. The ban comes after Ben Gvir posted a video on Wednesday showing him mocking captured activists who were kneeling with their heads down, hands tied behind their backs and eyes blindfolded. The Israeli minister's behavior toward the detained activists prompted Polish authorities to take the unprecedented diplomatic step of barring him from entering the country.
