EU Member States Call for Sanctions Against Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir Following Flotilla Incident
Several European Union member states, including France and Italy, have called for sanctions against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. This follows an incident involving Ben-Gvir's treatment of activists detained during a Gaza flotilla event. France has banned Ben-Gvir from entering the country, citing his actions as unacceptable, and Italy has demanded an apology for the treatment of activists, including Italian citizens. The Italian government is taking steps to secure the release of its citizens involved. The EU is yet to formally impose sanctions, but discussions are ongoing.
