The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

These sanctions represent necessary accountability for extremist rhetoric that threatens Palestinian human rights and undermines peace efforts. Smotrich and Ben-Gvir have consistently promoted dangerous policies, including forced relocation of Palestinians and blocking humanitarian aid to civilians facing famine conditions, and must face consequences for their actions.

Daily MailThe New Arab

Pro-Israel narrative

The sanctions constitute an outrageous attack on democratically elected Israeli officials who are defending their nation's security interests. These measures unfairly target government ministers working to protect Israel while ignoring Hamas' role in perpetuating the conflict and using civilians as human shields.
