According to The New York Times, British officials are reportedly waiting to assess whether Israel allows enough humanitarian assistance into Gaza before taking further steps in imposing the sanctions.
The United Kingdom is considering imposing sanctions on National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have both expressed strong support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign to expand IDF operations in Gaza, which has drawn increasing international criticism.
British officials are reportedly waiting to assess whether Israel allows enough humanitarian assistance into Gaza before taking further steps in imposing the sanctions, the New York Times said.

“We are liberating Gaza – and settling it,” he said.
