A spokesperson for the European Commission did not immediately respond to Bloomberg&#8217;s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Israel attacked the Gaza-bound Global Sumud humanitarian flotilla in international waters in mid-May. Live broadcasts from the flotilla showed Israeli naval forces intercepting the vessels.<\/p>\n<p>A video later circulated by Israeli authorities showing Ben-Gvir walking among detained activists who were kneeling in tightly packed formations while zip-tied, drawing widespread global criticism.<\/p>\n<p>Ben-Gvir appeared in the footage waving an Israeli flag and taunting detainees. All activists were later released following international backlash.&#13;\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Islam Times &#8211; The European Union is examining whether to impose sanctions on the Israeli regime\u2019s national security&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5],"tags":[2589,12495,3642,7776,12491,18,2578,12486,12483,8220,2217,12492,7826,12488,1988,5261,12482,12490,12484,12481,4167,1226,2565,3680,12494,6245,12489,10321,941,235,204,12485,1147,12493,2579,12487],"class_list":["post-19518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brussels","tag-a","tag-activists","tag-against","tag-aid","tag-ben","tag-brussels","tag-european","tag-examining","tag-far","tag-flotilla","tag-gaza","tag-gvir","tag-his","tag-impose","tag-is","tag-islam","tag-israeli","tag-itamar","tag-minister","tag-mulls","tag-national","tag-of","tag-on","tag-over","tag-palestinian","tag-pro","tag-regimes","tag-right","tag-sanctions","tag-security","tag-the","tag-times","tag-to","tag-treatment","tag-union","tag-whether"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@be\/116706053101336442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
