US CRITICISES UK OVER ISRAEL SANCTIONS

The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has criticised the UK government for sanctioning two Israeli cabinet ministers.

Marco Rubio says the restrictions being imposed on Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich don't help US efforts to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

The Foreign Office says measures were imposed jointly with Australia, Norway, Canada and New Zealand because of the ministers' 'repeated incitements of violence against Palestinian civilians'.
