00:00The United Kingdom will impose sanctions on far-right Israeli ministers Bezalos Smotrich
00:07and Itamar Ben-Gavir. UK Foreign Office said the ministers have incited extremist violence
00:13and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. They will have their assets frozen and face
00:19travel bans, a move Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned.
00:23It is outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are subjected
00:32to this kind of measures. I discussed it earlier today with Prime Minister Netanyahu
00:39and we will hold a special government meeting early next week to decide on our response to this
00:48unacceptable decision.
00:50Both ministers have acknowledged and criticized the sanctions following the announcement.
00:55They don't blame me. I am going to blame for our government, for our people. I am going
01:02to blame and do that they will not ban humanitarianism to Hamas.
01:06But the political response will be to blame for the government. We will not leave these days.
01:10Britain has already failed once to prevent us from staying with us. We will not do this again.
01:16Both Ben-Gavir and Smotrich have promoted the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank,
01:24have called to permanently resettle Gaza's population and campaigned against allowing aid into the territory.
01:30What do you think of?
01:32Protect with the government?
01:34Perfect.
01:36I will be happy to be here.
01:39Thank you, Tracy.
01:40Thank you, Tracy.
01:43There is Lord.
01:44One, two, three, two, three, four, five, five, five, five, six, eight, four.
01:50And I will be here now.
01:51I will be here.
01:52I will come back home to you.
