Italy has opened an investigation into Defence Minister Israel Katz and several senior Israeli military, police, and prison officials over their treatment of Gaza flotilla activists, prosecutors announced Friday, according to Al-Monitor. The probe centers on the handling of activists involved in flotilla operations bound for Gaza.
The investigation represents a legal challenge to Israeli officials at a senior level, though Italian prosecutors did not immediately detail the specific allegations or timeline of alleged misconduct.
