NZ Imposes Travel Bans on Three Israeli Settlers Over West Bank Violence
Foreign Minister Winston Peters said the bans target three settlers accused of violence and displacement that New Zealand says threaten a two-state solution.
- Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters announced that New Zealand has imposed travel bans on three Israeli settlers: Itamar Yehuda Levi, Harel David Libi, and Eliav Libi.
- The bans target individuals who have "actively worked to expand illegal settlements in the West Bank, including through violence," actions Peters stated are destabilizing the region and threatening peace.
- These measures align New Zealand with Australia and the European Union, reflecting the country's consistent position that Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories violate international law.
- Peters clarified that the bans are not aimed at the Israeli Government or its people, but rather at actions that "expanding settlements, and the violence that accompanies it, undermines prospects for a two-state solution."
- New Zealand has previously placed targeted travel bans on individuals and military leaders in Russia, Belarus, and Myanmar, establishing precedent for holding actors accountable for violence advocacy.
