He has worked hard to restore relations with the Jewish community that soured under his strongly pro-Palestinian predecessor as Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn.The Financial Times reported that the U.K. is considering imposing travel bans and asset freezes on two far-right members of Netanyahu’s government, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Starmer’s spokesman, Dave Pares, would not comment on the report but said “we always keep our sanctions regime under review.”Britain’s targeted sanctions, like its suspension of trade talks with Israel, are largely symbolic. The much larger EU also is reviewing its longstanding trade agreement with Israel.“It won’t change Netanyahu’s policy, but it’s the entire European Union signaling that there is, in fact, a form of defiance toward the Israeli government,” said Rigoulet-Roze, the French analyst.
