Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says the decision by Britain to sanction two Israeli ministers is “outrageous”, Reuters reports.

Saar told reporters that the government would hold a special meeting early next week to decide how to respond to the “unacceptable decision”.

Britain and other international allies will formally sanction two far-right Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, following their conduct over the war on Gaza, the Times newspaper has reported.
