Italian prosecutors have put Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir under investigation for the treatment of activists on a Gaza flotilla last month.
The probe suspects Ben-Gvir of torture and kidnapping of Italian citizens who were part of the activists.
Ben-Gvir has faced mounting international criticism over the release of a video showing detained Gaza activists kneeling with their hands bound.
Italy, France, and the EU have condemned the treatment of the activists, with Italy asking for sanctions against Ben-Gvir.
