Ireland Bans Israeli Ministers Over Gaza

Ireland has slapped travel bans on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich over their roles in escalating the Gaza crisis, with Taoiseach urging EU-wide sanctions despite hurdles to consensus. The move, approved swiftly without full cabinet backing, follows France’s earlier ban on Ben-Gvir after he mocked detained activists — a decision echoed by Spain, Italy, and France’s ongoing probe into alleged war crimes against French aid activists. Meanwhile, Ireland firmly backs FIFA’s authority over soccer fixtures, rejecting government interference while pushing EU and U.S. pressure as the most effective tools to hold Israel accountable.
