- The UK imposed sanctions on Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich due to their extremist comments about Gaza.
- These measures include travel bans and asset freezes, coordinated with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Norway.
- Israel’s foreign minister condemned the sanctions as outrageous and announced plans for a government response.
- UK MPs have welcomed the sanctions but urge further steps, including recognition of a Palestinian state.
