U.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 U.S. government, through a statement from Senator Marco Rubio, condemned the sanctions as counterproductive, calling for their removal and stressing that Hamas is a terrorist group, urging allies to concentrate on the actual enemy.
  • 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.
