The White House has criticised Britain's decision to sanction two Israeli ministers over 'egregious abuses' of human rights in Gaza.

Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich will both face a travel ban, the UK says.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, the security minister, and Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister, will be subject to a travel ban and asset freeze.
