German Lawmaker Urges Sanctions on Israel's Ben-Gvir

“Ben-Gvir’s dehumanizing statements can only be condemned by everyone,” Jurgen Hardt, foreign policy spokesman for the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) parliamentary group, told Politico.

“The EU should sanction him as a sign of the universal validity of human dignity and human rights,” Hardt said.

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Aug. 16 that Israel should carry out “targeted attacks” in Gaza every night and kill “30 or 40” people, rather than limiting attacks to individuals posing an immediate threat.
