The Taoiseach has condemned video footage of illegally detained participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla - which includes 14 Irish citizens - being taunted by Israel's national security minister.

Videos released on Wednesday by Itamar Ben-Gvir showed him walking among some of the approximately 430 detained activists flanked by police and soldiers as he waved a large Israeli flag and told them: “Welcome to Israel, we are the landlords.”
