Asked if his government would sanction Smotrich over comments that starving civilians in Gaza might be justified and Ben Gvir for saying perpetrators of settler violence in the West Bank were heroes, Starmer said “we are looking at that because they’re obviously abhorrent comments.”
“Israel must take all possible steps to avoid civilian casualties, to allow aid into Gaza in much greater volumes and provide the UN humanitarian partners the ability to operate effectively,” Starmer added.
