Ireland has banned National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering its territory.
Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin, speaking today (Friday) at the European Union summit in Montenegro, said that the ministers' actions and words "emerge with a desire to see the elimination of the Palestinians.".
He encouraged the EU to impose additional sanctions on the two.
Ireland is the ninth country in the EU to ban Ben Gvir and Smotrich from entering its territory, after Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Spain.
