The United Kingdom and some of its allies will formally sanction two far-right Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, over “their repeated incitement of violence against Palestinian communities” in Gaza, where Israel’s genocidal war has intensified, and in the occupied West Bank, its Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has said.
Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports. She’s in the Jordanian capital Amman because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting inside Israel and the Occupied West Bank.

The UK and four other Western governments have imposed sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers.
The sanctions will include asset freezes and travel restrictions against national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and finance minister Bezalel Smotrich.
The UK says the move is in response to “repeated incitements of violence” against Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank.
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway are also imposing sanctions.
They say Israel needs to take immediate action against what they call, extremist settlers.
Al Jazeera’s Milena Veselinovic has more from London and Nour Odeh is in the Jordanian capital Amman with the latest Israeli reaction.
