Footage on social media appears to show Israeli far-right security minister Ben Gvir taunting flotilla campaigners detained by the Israeli military<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Around 40 aid vessels were stopped as they approached the Gaza Strip<\/a> and more than 400 activists were detained, including 16 Irish citizens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201dLook at them. Supporters of murderers. By the way, their boats were one big party They didn\u2019t come to help but came pro-Gaza, pro the terrorists,\u201d he is recorded as saying on the video.<\/p>\n

Mr Gvir also appears to taunt campaigners over the volume of aid delivered aboard their vessels.<\/p>\n

\u201c… the police chief just showed me. There\u2019s just one baby milk carton … We\u2019re looking for the humanitarian aid. There\u2019s no humanitarian aid. I can\u2019t see anything here. It\u2019s one big party. One big wild party. There was one aim only here. They came to support the terrorists. What aid and what humanitarian assistance?\u201d he says on the video.<\/p>\n

The Israeli foreign ministry said on Thursday that those who had been detained were \u201cmaking their way safely and peacefully to Israel, where their deportation procedures to Europe will begin\u201d. <\/p>\n

The Israeli military, meanwhile, intercepted the last boat in the aid flotilla attempting to reach Gaza on Friday, a day after stopping most of the vessels.<\/p>\n

The organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla said the vessel, Marinette, was intercepted on Friday morning about 42 nautical miles from Gaza. Israeli army radio said the navy had taken control of the last ship in the flotilla, detained those aboard, and that the vessel was being led to Ashdod port in Israel. <\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s actions<\/a> have sparked protests internationally, including demonstrations in France, the UK, Germany, Turkey and the US, and some clashes with police in Italy, where unions have called a general strike for Friday.<\/p>\n

On Friday, T\u00e1naiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris<\/a> confirmed all 16 Irish citizens who were on board the first wave of flotilla boats have been detained in a facility in southern Israel. <\/p>\n

An Irish embassy team, including the ambassador to Israel, is currently at the detention facility and providing \u201call possible and appropriate consular assistance\u201d, including access to legal representation and medical treatment where needed, Mr Harris said.<\/p>\n

The Department of Foreign Affairs is in close contact with detainees\u2019 family members who have requested support, he said.<\/p>\n

The T\u00e1naiste added that he is aware of Irish citizens participating in other flotillas en route to Gaza and has instructed his department to closely monitor the \u201cevolving situation\u201d.<\/p>\n

A fresh flotilla of boats is heading towards Gaza and has vowed to continue on its course despite the interception of about 40 vessels by Israeli forces and detention of more than a dozen Irish citizens.<\/p>\n

Among the new wave of boats is the Milad \u2013 part of the Thousand Madleen flotilla \u2013 where Irish author Naoise Dolan<\/a> said she was roughly a week from Gaza as Israeli operations continue in the famine-hit enclave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have baby formula on our boat. That could be the difference for someone between life and death, so we have to go on,\u201d Ms Dolan said.<\/p>\n
