AP, Jerusalem
Britain and four other countries have imposed sanctions on two Israeli ministers, citing concerns over ongoing actions in Gaza. The move highlights increasing international pressure on Israel.
Five countries of the world have imposed sanctions on two Israeli ministers. These countries are Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway. The Israeli ministers who have been banned are Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
These ministers will no longer be able to travel to these five countries
The ban on these ministers with extreme right-wing ideology has been announced on Tuesday. Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have been banned for inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. These ministers will no longer be able to travel to these five countries.
The five countries have shown support for Israel on many occasions
Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway are countries that are generally considered to be a group of America and Israel. The five countries have shown support for Israel on many occasions. Despite this, these ministers have been banned.
Israel's aggression continues in Gaza
The reason for this is believed to be Israel's aggressive policy in Gaza. Both the banned ministers are supporters of expanding Israeli settlements in the West Bank. In the recent past, they have continuously incited violence against Palestinians.
17 killed in Israeli firing near humanitarian aid site in Gaza
At least 17 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli firing near an aid distribution site of a US-backed humanitarian group in central Gaza. The injured were admitted to Al-Awda Hospital in Gaza's Nusrat Camp and Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City.
The Israeli army said that warning shots were fired at suspects who were moving into the Gaza region and posing a threat to the soldiers.
Last week, they warned Palestinians not to go on the routes leading to the sites of the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) from six o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning. These routes were called closed military zones. On the other hand, the Israeli Navy on Tuesday attacked a post in the Yemeni rebel-held port city of Hodeida.
