The United Kingdom (UK) has sanctioned two far-right Israeli ministers over “repeated incitements of violence against Palestinian communities” in the occupied West Bank.
Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will both be banned from entering the UK and will have any assets in the UK.
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move, in a post on his x handle, says that the sanctions do not advance US-led efforts to achieve a ceasefire, bring all hostages home, and end the war”.
Israel says that It is outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are subjected to these kind of measures.
