State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce addressed the sanctions imposed against ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich by five countries, saying that "this is a very unhelpful move." According to her, "It will not contribute anything toward progress for a ceasefire in Gaza. Britain, Australia, Norway, New Zealand and Canada should focus on the real culprit - which is Hamas. Hamas is the one that put Gaza residents in this situation. We are concerned about any step that would lead to further isolation of Israel from the international community."
