Around 50 demonstrators gathered at Parliament House in Canberra, prompting authorities to secure the main entrance by closing it off.
Among the protesters were Zack Schofield and Surya McEwen, two of the 11 Australians previously detained.
In a public statement, Schofield and McEwen expressed their desire to personally show Prime Minister Anthony Albanese the extent of their injuries, urging the government to take stronger action.
“The Prime Minister has mentioned he cannot act without understanding our situation. I left an Israeli prison with a fractured cheekbone, a fractured rib, a lung contusion, and a concussion, all from being repeatedly beaten,” McEwen remarked.
“Until Albanese severs diplomatic ties with this state accused of genocide, none of us can claim pride in being Australian,” Schofield added.
The protest concluded with a minute of silence before law enforcement began removing the participants.
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.”
