The Netherlands has imposed a travel ban on two Israeli ministers, accusing them of inciting violence in Gaza, adding to the list of Western governments that have censured key figures in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition.

In a letter to parliament released late Monday, Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp announced the bans on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
