Foreign minister Gideon Saar said Tuesday that Israel had been informed by Britain of its decision to impose sanctions on two government ministers, describing the move as "outrageous".

"We were informed about the UK decision to include two of our ministers on the British sanctions list. It is outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are subjected to these kinds of measures," Saar told a press conference.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, both of the far right, have condemned the decision.
