The United Kingdom is contemplating imposing sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers following controversial remarks made by them. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced this during a session in the House of Commons.
The ministers in question are Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Minister of National Security, and Bezalel Smotrich, the Finance Minister of Israel. The decision to consider sanctions came after a statement by Smotrich suggesting that 'starving two million people in Gaza might be justified and moral,' and another by Ben-Gvir praising settlers who killed a 19-year-old in the West Bank as 'heroes.'
