Israeli ministers sanctioned by UK for ‘inciting violence’

The UK has sanctioned two Israeli government ministers for “inciting violence” and abuses of Palestinian human rights, David Lammy has said.

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s security minister and finance minister respectively, will be subject to a travel ban and asset freeze.

The UK is taking the action to ramp up pressure on Israel alongside Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway.
