Will Netanyahu face sanctions from our government?

He should but he wont

Good!

I think they need to sancion Netanyahu as well. They need to pull out all the stops and do everything possible.

Arms Embargo and more sanctions.

We can hope

Great news.

About time too.
Hopefully this is just the start of it.

He should, but he probably won't. He's a STBWC.*

*Soon to be war criminal

Good

A quick summary from Sky:

Who is sanctioned?
Israel's national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and finance minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Who has sanctioned them?
This action was taken by the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway - but notably not the US.

Why have they been sanctioned?
The action was taken due to "repeated incitement of violence against Palestinian civilians".

Under what powers was this done?
The countries have used the Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020 to designate the ministers "involved persons".

What can't they do?
The ministers have had any UK assets frozen, and are banned from the UK. The same conditions apply in the other countries to have imposed sanctions.

notably not the US.

Surprise surprise they will probably be applauded at congress like Netanyahu.

I wonder if British Israeli nationals who have gone to fight for the IDF will also face sanctions if they return back to the UK? Or at least have their nationality revoked?

It's a good first step

But it will not undo the genocide commited in Gaza

I hope history judges Israel for their deeds and the murders are not forgotten for generations to come

Good! Awful, evil men. Arrested and charged with crimes against humanity next, please.

They certainly at the least should be investigated and punished if found guilty.

So little so late. But it is a start.

Yes, it should certainly be talked about in decades and decades to come so that this terrible genocide isn't forgotten. May justice be done and this crime never repeated 🙏🏻

Good! Now sanction them like we do Russia!

He should. And we can only hope.

According to the Financial Times we were only able to place these sanctions because we left the EU. A Brexit benefit... (the only benefit, I might add!)
