US EditionU.S. Condemns Canada, Allies over Move to Sanction Two Right-Wing Israeli Ministers
- On June 10, 2025, Canada, the United Kingdom, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand jointly sanctioned two Israeli cabinet members—Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees national security, and Bezalel Smotrich, responsible for finance—accusing them of promoting violence against Palestinians residing in the West Bank.
- The sanctions followed accusations that Ben-Gvir and Smotrich promote extremist rhetoric and forced displacement that undermine prospects for a two-state solution amid ongoing conflict.
- The measures include asset freezes and travel bans, coordinated by the five countries, while Israel condemned the sanctions as outrageous and plans a special government meeting to consider its response.

- The sanctions reveal a rare division among close allies over policy in the Middle East and highlight challenges in advancing peace amid escalating violence and political tensions.
