Britain, Norway, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have imposed sanctions on Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, two far-right members of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy spoke on Tuesday.

David Lammy: “Well, these two individuals, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, have been inciting violence against Palestinian people for months and months and months. They have been encouraging egregious abuses of human rights.”

Israel and the Trump administration denounced the sanctions on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, which were announced as the Israeli military conducted its largest raid in years on the West Bank city of Nablus.

In related news, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has said the U.S. no longer backs an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank. Instead, Huckabee suggested Palestinians could form a state elsewhere if other Muslim nations donated land.
