Minister Ben-Gvir visited the detained Turkish flotilla activists
The Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, arrived today (May 20, 2026) to visit the Turkish flotilla activists who were detained by the authorities in Israel. The visit comes at the peak of a sensitive event involving foreign activists, which caused echoes among various Telegram channels.
According to the channel YINONEWS - Yinon Magal, which is identified with right-wing positions and support for the Netanyahu government, Minister Ben-Gvir arrived at the scene to meet the detained activists. The report presented the visit as a step of presence and supervision within the security system.
Conversely, the channel GLOBAL ANALYST 🕎 عالمي, characterized by a critical line toward the current political echelon, reported that during the visit an incident occurred when "one of the activists tried to shout" at the minister during his visit.
As of this hour, both channels agree on the fact of the visit and that these are activists who were involved in the Turkish flotilla, however, the emphases in the reporting reflect the broad political controversy surrounding the activity of Minister Ben-Gvir and the attitude toward flotillas to Israel.
