Australia joins allies to impose sanctions on Israeli far-right ministers
Australia, along with its allies, imposed sections on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers for their roles in “serious human rights violations,” Australian foreign minister, Penny Wong said on Wednesday.
Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Norway in a coordinated action imposed sanctions on Tuesday on cabinet ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, accusing them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
The sanctions freeze the assets and impose travel bans on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, both West Bank settlers.
Israel's Ambassador to Australia, Amir Maimon, wrote on X on Wednesday that the sanctions were concerning and unacceptable.
