Aussies detained by Israel join dozens of protesters at Parliament House

About 50 protesters have taken to Parliament House in Canberra, leading to police and security shutting down the main entrance.

The pro-Palestine group knelt on the marble foyer with their hands bound behind their back to replicate the video of detained members of a flotilla that was flaunted by Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir last week.

Two of the 11 Australians who were detained, Zack Schofield and Surya McEwen, were also part of today's protest.

In a statement, the pair said they wanted to show Prime Minister Anthony Albanese the extent of their injuries and treatment as the group called for more government action.

"The Prime Minister has said that he can't respond without knowing our circumstances. I left Israeli prison with a fractured cheekbone, a fractured rib, a contusion of my lung and a concussion, after I was kicked and punched so many times I lost count," McEwen said.

"Until Albanese ends diplomatic relationships with this state charged with genocide, none of us can be proud to be Australian," Schofield said.

There was a minute's silence before security and police began escorting the group out.

Protesters could be heard yelling "free Palestine" and "sanction Israel" as they were led to the basement.

They have been banned from Parliament House for 12 months.

The commotion led to the front entrance of Parliament House being closed. Other entrances remained open.

In a Labor party room meeting this morning, a member questioned the government on when it would increase sanctions on Israel and referred to Israel's treatment of the 430 flotilla activists.

The government reaffirmed it would take a principles-based approach and every word and action would be scrutinised.

Ben-Gvir was criticised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the United Nations and Australians after he shared a video of officers grabbing and throwing a woman to the floor after she yelled, "free, free Palestine", and prisoners being handcuffed and being forced to kneel on the ground.

Ben-Gvir yelled in Hebrew, "Welcome to Israel, we are your landlords!" while waving an Israeli flag.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong labelled his actions as completely unacceptable.

"The images we have seen are shocking and unacceptable," she said in a statement last week.

"We condemn the actions of Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir - who Australia has sanctioned - and the degrading actions of Israeli authorities towards those detained."
