"That treatment is monstrous, disgraceful and inhumane," Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said in Berlin in a recording shared with the media, adding that Israel's charge d'affaires in Madrid had been summoned in protest.
However Irish foreign minister Helen McEntee said she was "appalled and shocked" by a video of activists, including Irish citizens, detained by Israel from a Gaza-bound flotilla.
McEntee demanded the immediate release of the "illegally detained" activists after Israel's security minister posted a video showing dozens kneeling with their hands tied and foreheads on the ground. Among the detainees is the sister of Irish President Catherine Connolly.
Canada's foreign minister also slammed Israel on Wednesday over "deeply troubling and absolutely unacceptable" footage of detained activists from an intercepted Gaza-bound flotilla.
"I have directed my officials to summon the Israeli ambassador regarding the mistreatment of civilians aboard the flotilla. What we've seen, including the video shared by Itamar Ben Gvir, is deeply troubling and absolutely unacceptable," Canada's Foreign Minister Anita Anand said, referring to Israel's far-right national security chief.
