Italy initiates move to impose sanctions on Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced that the Italian government has officially appealed to the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, demanding the imposition of personal sanctions on the Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir. According to the report on Abu Ali Express, the move follows what the Italian administration defined as "unacceptable actions against flotilla activists" to Gaza.
The channel, which is identified with critical stances toward the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and Iran, notes that this is an unusual diplomatic initiative by a major European country against a minister in the Israeli government. According to Abu Ali Express, the appeal focuses on the Minister's conduct toward the participants in the Gaza flotilla.
The Israel News Uncensored channel also reported on the event, confirming that Italy is indeed demanding to promote European punitive measures against Ben-Gvir as a result of the treatment received by the flotilla activists. So far, no official response has been issued by Minister Ben-Gvir's office regarding the reports of the Italian initiative.
