        "summary": "Italian prosecutors in Rome have placed Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on a suspect list as part of an investigation into alleged torture and war crimes against pro-Palestinian activists.

        "content": "<p>The Rome prosecutor\u2019s office has added Israeli National Security\nMinister Itamar Ben-Gvir to its register of suspects in an investigation\ninto alleged torture and war crimes against activists from the\npro-Palestinian flotilla Sumud. The newspaper la Repubblica reported on\nMonday that the inquiry was opened several weeks ago after Israeli\nauthorities detained the flotilla activists, including a number of\nItalian citizens. According to the report, lawyers for the plaintiffs\nallege possible criminal offences, including kidnapping, torture, sexual\nviolence, robbery, and actions potentially capable of causing a\nshipwreck. The Sumud flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid for the Gaza\nStrip, sailed from Barcelona on 15 April. On 18 May, flotilla organisers\nstated their vessel was surrounded and forcibly intercepted by Israeli\nwarships in international waters, approximately 250 nautical miles off\nthe coast of Gaza. All flotilla participants were then detained before\nultimately being deported from Israel. On 20 May, Itamar Ben-Gvir\nuploaded a video showing Israeli forces pinning down and binding the\ndetained activists face-down. The flotilla organisers later reported\nthat around 30 activists sustained bone fractures and accused Israeli\nforces of subjecting participants to sexual harassment. Meanwhile,\nJean-Noel Barrot stated on 23 May that France has barred Ben-Gvir from\nentering its territory.<\/p>",
