You know, we have law and order, we investigate those situations if they happen.
But to put Israel, a strong democracy, on the same list of ISIS and the same list of
Hamas terrorists who committed those crimes, that's unacceptable.
And that is why I announced that we are done with this Secretary General.
We will not conduct any business with him and he will leave office in the next few months.
We will continue to work with the new Secretary General that will get elected soon.
OK, but are you done then with Ben Gavir, a member of the Israeli government, who, as
the denials were flying in about any abuse against detainees from the Prime Minister
to everybody else from the Israeli end, as these denials were being made, Ben Gavir,
one of the ministers in the government, posted a video actually showing a young female detainee
being abused.
And we all saw it with our own eyes.
So there was, on the one hand, the Israeli government saying, we never abuse detainees.
It's all a figment of everyone's imagination.
And at the same time, one of your ministers, senior ministers, gleefully posting a video
in which he was celebrating clear evidence of a young female detainee being abused.
Let's be clear about the facts.
First, this report goes back to the year 2025 and it speaks about sexual crimes as a method.
You know, but I'm talking about the abuse of this woman in front of our eyes.
I'm not saying sexual, but I'm saying it is actually abuse.
I think that what you are implying is to the flotilla that, you know, people try to get
into Gaza and were arrested and deported.
And I am not aware of any sexual abuse about that.
But, you know, let's look at the facts.
We have detainees, but we treat them according to the law.
Well, hang on, hang on.
OK, but Danny Danone, look, the flotilla's organisers have alleged there are at least
15 examples of sexual assaults.
You can deny that.
We haven't seen the evidence of that either way.
Show me the facts. Show me one, one.
OK, no, you can deny that.
You can deny that.
But when we see the video that Ben-Gavir proudly posted, we can see a young woman being
physically abused, not sexually, not saying that, but being physically abused.
Do you condemn that abuse?
And do you accept that when one of your own government ministers is gleefully celebrating
actual abuse that we see with our own eyes of a young woman, that it flies in the face
of these blanket denials of any mishandling or many mistreatment of detainees?
So let's be clear about the facts.
First, we condemn any sexual abuse worldwide.
You know, when you look at the horrible picture of what's happening today in some countries
in Africa, in Sudan, and you read the report and you see that there were thousands of cases.
You know what they said about Israel?
They said that there are some reports of 31 cases.
Why they didn't share them with us?
OK, let me look.
Let me just try and be, I don't want to be pedantic, but let me just play you the video
that I'm talking about, that Ben-Govia posted.
And when you see what happened to that woman at the start of that video, what do you feel
about that?
Well, I haven't seen any sexual abuse in that video.
I didn't say sexual abuse.
I was very specific.
We are talking about sexual abuse.
She was being physically abused, right?
I mean, you accept that, don't you?
You haven't shown what happened before.
And from my experience.
She shouted, free, free Palestine.
And for that, she got physically abused.
You don't know what she did before.
So many times when you show part of the videos and then she was detained.
She was illegally trying to break into Gaza.
She was detained.
So you don't condemn the way she was treated?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
