David Cameron criticized the extremist actions of Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, calling for sanctions to pressure Israel to comply with international law. He warned that their behavior, including incitement against aid convoys and support for extreme settlers, has escalated tensions and undermined peace efforts in the region. Noting their controversial statements, he emphasized the need for accountability to show the Israeli government that their actions are unacceptable.
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy echoed concerns over the inflammatory rhetoric from Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, expressing deep worries about the rising tensions. He affirmed that the UK government is considering a range of options, possibly including sanctions, to address the situation, maintaining that any actions taken are still under careful review in coordination with G7 partners. His emphasis on a close watch suggests that the UK is not averse to potential intervention.
