Sanction of American allies 2 members of the Israeli cabinet

Five of the United States’ allies of the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom, announced on Tuesday that they were imposing sanctions jointly to two senior Israeli officials, extreme -right nationalists who are members of the Cabinet of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In a statement published on the official website of the United Kingdom Government, the Foreign Ministers of the five Nations said that the Israeli National Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Real and Minister of Finance Bisalel Smotrich They were being sanctioned “for inciting violence against the Palestinians in the West Bank.”

The sanctions did not appear in detail, but they could include prohibitions of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir entering the territory of the US allies. And the freezing of some controlled assets abroad.

“The violence of the settlers is prompted by the extremist rhetoric that requires that the Palestinians be expelled from their homes, encourage violence and human rights abuses and fundamentally rejects the solution of two states. The violence of the settlers has led to the death of the Palestinian civilians and the displacement of entire communities,” the statement said. “Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have prompted extremist violence and serious abuse of Palestinian human rights. Extremist rhetoric that advocates the forced displacement of the Palestinians and the Creation of new Israeli settlements It is frightening and dangerous. These actions are not acceptable. We have hired the Israeli government on this issue widely, but violent perpetrators continue to act with breath and impunity. That is why we have taken this action now, to hold those responsible. “

Countries said that although the sanctions announced on Tuesday “focus on the West Bank”, the actions of Israel there “cannot be seen in isolation from the catastrophe in Gaza. We continue horrified by the immense suffering of civilians, including the denial of essential help. “

The five nations said that the measures “do not deviate from our unwavering support for the security of Israel and continue to condemn the horrible terrorist attacks of October 7 by Hamas,” adding that in their opinion, the rhetoric of the two members of the Israeli cabinet also Socava “Israel’s own security and its position in the world.”

The sanctions were announced as the Palestinian Red Crescent in the West Bank occupied by Israel, he said that 80 people were injured on Tuesday during Israel’s current military operations in the Palestinian territory, in the city of Nablus, specifically. Israel insists that their military operations in the West Bank are necessary to eradicate terrorists who plan and launch attacks from the territory.

The British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said on Tuesday that Israeli officials had used “horrible extremist language” and that “would encourage the Israeli government to reject and condemn that language.”

Last month, Smotrich said Gaza “will be completely destroyed” and that civilians “will begin to leave third countries in large quantities.” He has repeatedly called For Israel to completely attach a West Bankwhich has been occupied for a long time by Israeli forces.

News themezone has met with Palestinian residents and Israeli activists in the West Bank who say that violent attacks of Israeli settlers have increased significantly since the war began in Gaza, including attacks that have expelled people from their land.

The statement published on Tuesday by the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs said there were more than 1,900 “attacks against Palestinian civilians since January last year” in the territory.

Smotrich said in a publication on social networks that he had heard about the sanctions while attending the inauguration of a new agreement in the West Bank on Tuesday. Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, which are illegal according to international law, have flourished in the last two years, and Smotrich said Tuesday: “We are determined to continue building.”

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar described the sanctions as “outrageous.” He said he had discussed the measures with Netanyahu, and that Israel would decide his answer next week.

Israeli human rights lawyer, Eitay Mack, who has spent years campaigning for international sanctions against Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, told the News that Tuesday’s measure was “historical”, but “it is incredible that it was quite incredible.”

“It is a message for Netanyahu who could be the next one,” Mack told the AP.

All nations behind the new sanctions are closely allied with the United States, and three of them are companions of the NATO Alliance. Australia and New Zealand are not NATO members, but they work closely with the US.

According to the reports, more Palestinians killed near the help center of the group backed by the United States

While negotiations last, the war in Gaza continues to have a high daily price in the Palestinian life.

The Gaza Ministry of Health led by Hamas said Tuesday that more than 30 people had been killed around two of the controversial and backed by the United States. Help distribution hubs of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation In the enclave. The witnesses said the victims were shot, echoing numerous previous incidents around the four GHF operating distribution centers in Gaza.

The Israeli army said it was aware of the reports of people injured in the area, and that the details were under review.

The soldiers “shot at the warning shots hundreds of meters from the aid distribution site” in question before opening on Tuesday, the Israel defense forces said in a statement.

The shots were fired “towards suspects that represented a threat to troops,” according to IDF.

Israel does not allow foreign journalists to enter Gaza, so it was difficult to determine what really happened on Tuesday, as has been in all the previous murders informed near the GHF centers.

The GHF, in a daily note about its operations sent to the media, said: “The distribution of help in both places proceeded without incident” on Tuesday.

The help centers of the group based in the United States, which are treated by American and private American contractors, are adjacent to very militarized areas in the Gaza Strip, which the FDI has declared out of the limits to civilians from dusk to dawn.

The local News themezone team in Gaza has reported generalized confusion among families trying to seek help in Hubs. Residents have told News themezone that it is often not clear which of the four help centers is open at a given time. Large crowds have gathered near the centers at night, with people who hope to be the first in the food distribution line, which can start as soon as at 6 in the morning.

However, the video has shown constant transmissions of people who leave the centers with captures that contain help, including dried lentils and kitchen oil.

However, practically no one in Gaza has gas left, food stoves, so families have been burning garbage, including plastic, to cook. Many of the dry products in GHF aid plots are non -edible unless they are cooked.

“Gaza at this time is in the midst of a mass negotiation between us and Hamas and Israel, and Iran is really involved,” he said. He offered no more details, but said: “We will see what will happen with Gaza. We want to recover the hostages.”

The United States has long participated in ongoing negotiations in Qatar aimed at attributing a high fire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, but there have been no indications of an imminent advance in those conversations, although Netanyahu said in a video message on Tuesday that the dialogue had advanced.

The US have never mentioned Iran previously as part of the conversations, and no member of the Netanyahu government has recognized having participated in negotiations with Iran. The Israeli media cited anonymous officials on Tuesday by denying any discussion with Iran, but there was no statement in the Netanyahu government registry about Mr. Trump’s comments, which occurred after a phone call between the two leaders on Tuesday.

According to reports, Netanyahu and Mr. Trump discussed the separate conversations that the United States has been celebrating with Iranian negotiators aimed at imposing a new agreement to impose Limits in Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the decrease in the overwhelming economic sanctions. These conversations will resume towards the end of this week, either in Oman or Oslo, but so far the Iranian government has said that the country will not accept to completely abandon its domestic enrichment of uranium, something that the White House continues to insist publicly.

The Hodeida docks have been attacked in the past by the Israel Air Force, and the strikes were meaning as a new warning to the hutis to stop shooting missiles to Israel. On average, the rebels have launched a missile in Israel every two days for several months. Almost all have disintegrated in the air or have been intercepted by Israeli aerial defenses.

Israeli defense minister Israel Katz said that if the attacks do not stop, Israel will impose a full air and sea blockade in the Hutí territory in Yemen, not very different from the one that Israel is currently imposing to Gaza.

“We warn the Hutí terrorist organization that if they continue to shoot Israel, they will face a powerful response and enter a naval and aerial block,” Katz said.
