Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich posted on social media that he is barred from the UK because of his efforts to eliminate the idea of a Palestinian state, and added that two exiles 'entered nicely.' The statement follows an earlier post on the same issue earlier today.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich issued a second social media statement early Thursday, reiterating that the UK has barred his entry due to his opposition to a Palestinian state. He added that two exiles 'entered nicely,' in a remark that appears to reference political figures. The post follows an initial statement by Smotrich reported by The Zioneer at 01:36 Jerusalem time, in which he first claimed the entry ban. The White House and UK Foreign Office have not yet commented on the latest development.
