UK imposes entry ban on 2 Israeli government officials

The United Kingdom has imposed restrictions on the entry of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. This is indicated by the blacklist updated on the U.K. government’s website.

The restrictive measures include a ban on entry to the United Kingdom and the freezing of their accounts.

According to the British government, Smotrich and Ben-Gvir are “responsible for engaging, inciting, promoting, and/or supporting actions that constitute serious violations of human rights, including the aggression and violence carried out against Palestinians in the West Bank of the Jordan River.”
