U.S. to impose sanction on Israel's Ben-Gvir


13-11-2024 09:09 AM

Ammon News - The U.S. State Department is contemplating imposing sanctions on far-right Israeli Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir during the final stretch of President Joe Biden's tenure, sources familiar with the matter said, according to Ynet newspaper.

These sanctions aim to balance the backlash stemming from the administration's decision not to impose an arms embargo on Israel, following an ultimatum letter. On Tuesday evening, the U.S. declared that Israel is not in violation of U.S. law on humanitarian aid to Gaza.

State Department officials are urging Secretary of State Antony Blinken to endorse the sanctions against Ben-Gvir – a move unprecedented in the annals of U.S.-Israel relations, which would mark the first time that the U.S. would impose sanctions on a sitting government minister.
