The Netherlands has officially barred Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering the country, citing their repeated calls for settler violence and what Dutch officials described as advocacy for ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has ordered the confiscation of loudspeakers and imposed fines on mosques broadcasting the call to prayer, or adhan, labeling it a "threat" to Israeli residents. In an interview with Channel 12, Ben-Gvir stated, "I am proud to advance a policy to stop the unwarranted noise from mosques and other sources, which has become a danger for Israel's residents."

The United Kingdom is considering imposing sanctions against two Israeli ministers.

Israeli hardliner Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Tuesday Jews should be permitted to pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, known to Jews as Temple Mount, launching a fresh challenge to rules covering one of the most sensitive sites in the Middle East, News.az reports citing Reuters .
