Two German politicians have called on the European Union to impose sanctions against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Shehab Wire reported. The officials cited Ben Gvir's calls for intensified airstrikes on Gaza and the daily killing of Palestinians without restriction.
The demand represents a sharp rebuke from Berlin over statements the German officials view as incitement to mass violence. The move underscores deepening friction between European capitals and the Israeli government over conduct in the Gaza Strip, where the conflict has drawn sustained international criticism of tactics and rhetoric from senior officials.
