The families of Australians intercepted while trying to deliver aid to Gaza are worried their loved ones are being brutalised after an Israeli minister posted a video of himself humiliating the activists.
Eleven Australians were among 400 people taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza before being intercepted by Israeli forces at gunpoint in international waters on Tuesday.
No one has heard from the Australians since, but a social media post by Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir overnight showed him gloating over flotilla participants as they are forced to their knees by guards.
In the video, Mr Ben-Gvir walks through a crowd of detainees kneeling with their heads on the floor as he smiles and berates a man whose hands are zip-tied.
