Government sanctions two Israeli ministers over Gaza comments

New Zealand has imposed travel bans on Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, accusing them of undermining peace and security through inflammatory rhetoric and support for illegal settlements in Gaza.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters clarified the move targets individuals, not the Israeli government, and aligns with New Zealand’s broader foreign policy approach.

The sanctions, echoed by Australia, Canada, the UK, and Norway, respond to the ministers’ advocacy for annexation and incitement of violence, which Peters said jeopardises the two-state solution. Israel’s foreign minister condemned the decision as “outrageous.”

  2. These 2, and many other prominent Israelis have been saying this for months. Why have you taken so long to sanction them?
