- 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 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.
