No consensus for EU sanctions against Israel’s Ben-Gvir, top diplomat says

-

BRUSSELS, June ‌15 (Reuters) - EU foreign ​ministers have not reached a ⁠consensus to approve sanctions against Israel's far-right National ​Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, EU's ‌top diplomat Kaja Kallas said on Monday.

"Many member states ⁠have also proposed ⁠to sanction Minister Ben-Gvir, but no consensus on that was reached," she ‌said.

Western governments have expressed outrage ⁠after Ben-Gvir ‌posted a video ​of himself taunting activists who had intended to ‌bring humanitarian aid ​to Gaza ⁠being pinned to the ‌ground.

France decided ⁠to ban Ben-Gvir from French territory in May, while ​Italian prosecutors ‌have put him under investigation.
