The British Foreign Office denounced comments by Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir as "abhorrent," according to Middle East Eye. A Foreign Office spokesperson told the outlet that such rhetoric from a government minister crosses a clear line. "Dehumanising language and calls for violence from an Israeli government minister are unacceptable," the spokesperson said.
The rebuke represents an unusually direct criticism of a sitting Israeli official by London's diplomatic establishment. Britain has traditionally been cautious in publicly challenging Israeli government figures, making the statement a notable departure from diplomatic convention.
