Cameron Planned Sanctions Against Israeli Ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir Over Support for Violent Settlers
Oct 15, 2024, 07:58 AM
David Cameron, the former UK Foreign Secretary, has disclosed that he was considering sanctions against two Israeli ministers, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, during his tenure until July 2024. Cameron criticized the Labour government's partial ban on arms sales, stating it 'made no sense'. He labeled Smotrich and Ben-Gvir as extremists, citing their support for violent settlers and calls to block aid to Gaza as reasons for the proposed sanctions. Despite his preparations, Cameron admitted that political factors prevented him from implementing these measures. The discussion has prompted speculation about whether the current Labour government might take similar actions against the ministers.
