A group of Israeli politicians expressed strong positions against the anticipated decision by the British government to impose a \u201ccomprehensive trade ban\u201d on Israeli settlements in the West Bank.<\/p>\n
Israeli Finance Minister \u201cBezalel Smotrich,\u201d who belongs to the far right, called for the immediate expulsion of the British ambassador, saying: \u201cWe will not be a scapegoat trampled by an antisemitic government in a country occupied by radical Islam, seeking to survive economic and social collapse by attacking Jews and the State of Israel. The British Mandate in the Land of Israel is over.\u201d<\/p>\n
For his part, Israeli National Security Minister \u201cItamar Ben-Gvir,\u201d who belongs to the far right, launched an attack on Britain, calling on Israel to recognize Argentina\u2019s sovereignty over the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands.<\/p>\n
\u201cBen-Gvir\u201d said: \u201cIt is time for the State of Israel to publicly recognize that the Malvinas Islands are occupied Argentine territories, violently stolen by the British from the Argentine people.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the British \u201care not content with territorial occupation alone, but are also carrying out oil drilling operations there and stealing money from the Argentine people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBen-Gvir\u201d called on Israeli Prime Minister \u201cBenjamin Netanyahu\u201d to recognize Argentina\u2019s sovereignty over the islands and even impose sanctions on Britain \u201cas long as it continues the occupation,\u201d according to his description.<\/p>\n
British Foreign Secretary \u201cEd Miliband\u201d is scheduled to announce on Tuesday before the House of Commons a comprehensive trade ban on Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including a ban on the exchange of goods and services with them, in addition to imposing sanctions on British institutions and individuals involved in financing, constructing, or promoting settlements in the Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n
