Several European countries have recently criticized both ministers and even imposed travel bans on them in a response to their indictment of violence against Palestinians.
In June, Slovenia declared both Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich persona non grata, according to Reuters.
The Slovenian government has accused both ministers of making 'genocidal statements' and inciting violence against Palestinians.
'Today, the government adopted one of the first national measures, which is to declare two Israeli ministers… unwanted in the Republic of Slovenia,' Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon told a news conference.
Slovenia's government issued a statement saying both Ben-Gvir and Smotrich 'publicly advocate the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, the forced evictions of Palestinians, and call for violence against the civilian Palestinian population'.
Moreover, the Dutch government imposed travel bans on both ministers in July.
The government has accused both Ben-Gvir and This international pressure on Israel comes at a crucial time as violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is growing with increasing number of killings and attacks by settlers and security forces.
At the same time, the starvation crisis in Gaza is worsening with dozens of Gazans including children dying due to malnutrition throughout the 22 months of war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

UN says Israeli plan for settlement near East Jerusalem breaks international law
The UN human rights office said on Friday Israel's decision to build a new settlement near East Jerusalem was illegal under international law and that it put nearby Palestinians at risk of forced eviction, which it described as a war crime. Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approved plans for a settlement that would split East Jerusalem from the Israeli-occupied West Bank, saying the move would 'bury' the idea of a Palestinian state.

Saudi Arabia slams Israeli settlement plans near Jerusalem
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the approval by the Israeli occupation authorities to build settlements around the occupied city of Jerusalem. In a statement, the Kingdom denounced the Israeli foreign minister's statements against the establishment of a Palestinian state. Saudi Arabia regarded these actions as violations of international law, the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the establishment of their sovereign state, and relevant UN Security Council resolutions, foremost among them Resolution 2234 (2016). This resolution demands that Israel cease settlement activities in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, affirms the illegality of Israel's settlement construction in the territory occupied since 1967, and refers to the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice affirming the invalidity of annexing the occupied Palestinian territories and the need to end the Israeli occupation. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed that these decisions and statements are a continuation of the illegal expansionist policies of the Israeli government, obstructing the peace option and posing a serious threat to the possibility of a two-state solution. 'Israel's behavior requires the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities to provide protection for the Palestinian people, meet their legitimate rights—including recognition of the Palestinian state—compel Israel to cease its aggression against Gaza, halt its illegal violations in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, and stop crimes against the Palestinian people, particularly those amounting to genocide, while holding perpetrators accountable,' the statement said. Saudi Arabia reiterated its unequivocal rejection of Israeli policies based on settlement, forced displacement, and the deprivation of the Palestinian people of exercising their legitimate rights. It called on the international community—especially the permanent members of the UN Security Council—to take immediate measures to compel the Israeli occupation authorities to halt their crimes against the Palestinian people and the occupied Palestinian territories, and to comply with UN resolutions and international law.

Palestinian Tragedy Lies in Powerlessness, Says Noam Chomsky
American linguist and professor Noam Chomsky said that part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support. In a video that went viral on social media, Chomsky noted that Palestinians do not have wealth or power. So, they do not have rights. 'It is the way the world works, your rights correspond to your powers. Same inside the United States, if you are a poor black kid in Roxbury, you do not have the rights of a rich person.. same in the international arena,' he added. Moreover, he noted that Palestinians may get statements of support, but no body is going to do much for them, especially when the US threatens anyone who might try to do something. 'What is called the national interest turns out to be the interest of dominant domestic forces in US society,' he said. Therefore, the national interest means the interests of the very rich, major corporations, the ones who set government policy, according to Chomsky. 'That is the national interest and not the population. Population is basically irrelevant,' he added.
