He has been condemned by the prime minister, by the foreign minister, the entire leadership of the state of Israel."A country is not measured by the actions of one politician, but how the government responds to actions which are disgraceful."Newman said that because his actions had been condemned, debate around Ben-Gvir should be put aside "and we address the real issue, which is the flotilla itself".He repeated claims made by the Israeli government that the flotilla was a "provocation".Earlier, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the images of Ben-Gvir were "shocking and unacceptable" "We condemn the actions of Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir — who Australia has sanctioned — and the degrading actions of Israeli authorities towards those detained," she said in a statement
