Israel objects to foreign nations sanctioning its officials
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich won't be exploring London anytime soon. The United Kingdom sanctioned the two firebrands and imposed travel bans on them. The U.K. is not alone in acting against Ben-Gvir and Smotrich; Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway have joined in. The foreign ministers of all five countries issued a joint statement on their decision to sanction the ministers and implement "other measures targeting" them. "Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. Extremist rhetoric advocating the forced displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements is appalling and dangerous," the statement read. Netanyahu Accuses The Uk, France And Canada Of 'Enabling Hamas' The foreign ministers say that their actions against Ben-Gvir and Smotrich stem from issues in the West Bank, but that their measures "cannot be seen in isolation from the catastrophe in Gaza." Ben-Gvir responded in a post on X, saying, "While the European colonial countries fantasize that we Jews are still their subjects, the streets of their famous cities are being taken over by radical Islam. But their campaign of appeasement for the Hamas terrorists will not save them. When they finally wake up, it will be too late!" Read On The Fox News App Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar slammed the move, calling it "outrageous." "We were informed about the U.K. decision to include two of our ministers on the British Sanctions list. It is outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are subjected to these kinds of measures," Sa'ar said on Tuesday. "I discussed it earlier today with [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and we will hold a special government meeting early next week to decide on our response to this unacceptable decision." Controversial Israeli Official Says His Country Can Learn From America's Gun Laws Sa'ar also put out a statement on X criticizing the five nations, particularly the U.K. "The British Mandate for the land of Israel ended in May 1948. It will never return," Sa'ar wrote. "The actions and decisions against Israel also contribute to hardening Hamas' stance in the negotiations for the hostage deal – and distance it and the ceasefire." Secretary of State Marco Rubio also condemned the actions taken against the Israeli officials. "These sanctions do not advance U.S.-led efforts to achieve a ceasefire, bring all hostages home, and end the war. We reject any notion of equivalence: Hamas is a terrorist organization that committed unspeakable atrocities, continues to hold innocent civilians hostage, and prevents the people of Gaza from living in peace. We remind our partners not to forget who the real enemy is. The United States urges the reversal of the sanctions and stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel," Rubio's statement read. The countries that signed the joint statement have been vocal critics of Israel during its war against Hamas. In May, Canada, the U.K. and France said in a statement that they "strongly oppose the expansion of Israel's military operations in Gaza." They also said that Israel allowing only "a basic quantity of food into Gaza" was "wholly inadequate." "We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response," the statement from May read. In a joint statement on the Australia-New Zealand Foreign and Defense Ministerial Consultations (ANZMIN), the countries called for a ceasefire in Gaza and condemned Israel's "treatment of U.N. agencies." Australia and New Zealand defended the controversial United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the statement, saying that "no organization can replace or substitute" its ability to serve the Palestinian population. The U.S. stopped funding UNRWA under former President Joe Biden. Under President Donald Trump, the Department of Justice ruled that the agency was no longer immune to lawsuits – a decision that allowed the families of more than 100 victims of the Oct. 7 attacks to sue the agency, demanding $1 billion in article source: Israel objects to foreign nations sanctioning its officials

Greta Thunberg rips Trump: ‘The world needs a lot of more young angry women'
Activist Greta Thunberg on Tuesday went after President Trump over comments in which he said he believed 'she has to go to an anger management class.' On Monday, Trump called Thunberg 'a strange person' and 'a young, angry person' after Israel intercepted a boat she was on carrying aid for Gaza, which has seen mass infrastructure destruction and death amid Israel's war versus Hamas. 'I don't know if it's real anger. It's hard to believe, actually, but I saw what happened. She's certainly different. Anger management, I think she has to go to an anger management class. That's my primary recommendation for her,' the president said of Thunberg. After being deported from Israel on Tuesday, Trump's comments about Thunberg were noted to her at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. 'I think the world needs a lot of more young angry women to be honest, especially with everything going on right now,' Thunberg said. In international waters, early Monday, Thunberg and others were taken into Israeli custody while they attempted to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza. 'The 'selfie yacht' of the 'celebrities' is safely making its way to the shores of Israel,' the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs said previously on X. 'The passengers are expected to return to their home countries.' Trump has a history of clashing with Thunberg, a notable climate activist who has pushed world leaders to take more action to fight against climate change. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Israel says it intercepted missile from Yemen after port strikes
The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, hours after attacking Houthi militia facilities at Yemen's port of Hodeidah. Alarm sirens sounded in Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank and several areas in central Israel. There were no reports of injuries or major damage. In a statement, the Israeli military said the missile broke into several pieces after being hit by an interceptor missile. It accused the Iran-backed Houthis of launching the missile. Israeli air defences fired at least seven more interceptor missiles to shoot down debris, the military said. Since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, the Houthis have regularly attacked Israel with rockets and drones in solidarity with the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israel has responded with airstrikes on militia targets.
