UK sanctions far-right Israeli ministers over Gaza comments
The UK has sanctioned two Israeli far-right ministers over comments they made on Gaza.
Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will both face a travel ban and have their assets frozen as part of the measures announced by the UK foreign secretary.
David Lammy said the ministers had “incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights”.
In response, Israel said: “It is outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are subjected to these kind of measures.”
