Italy Demands EU Sanctions on Ben-Gvir Over Gaza Flotilla Abuse

(MENAFN) Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has formally called on the European Union to impose targeted sanctions against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir following his conduct toward detained Global Sumud Flotilla activists, he announced Thursday.

Writing on X, Tajani confirmed he had submitted a formal request to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas to place the adoption of sanctions against Ben-Gvir on the agenda of the next EU foreign ministers' meeting.

Tajani said the request was a direct response to "the unacceptable acts committed against the Flotilla, seizing the activists in international waters and subjecting them to harassment and humiliation, in violation of the most basic human rights."
