Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that the administration of US President Joe Biden is cooperating with what he described as the “dangerous campaign” of the international boycott movement that aims to harm Israel and distort its image.

Smotrich stressed that Israel should not tolerate US sanctions on settlers under any circumstances.

In recent months, the Biden administration imposed several sanctions on settlers it accused of involvement in violence in the West Bank, indicating the United States' growing dissatisfaction with the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Smotrich: I will demand that the cabinet stop new army appointments

Smotrich commented on the army's announcement of new appointments, saying that he would ask the Israeli cabinet to stop the appointments.

He added that if Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy did not understand on his own that he should not be preoccupied with appointments that he described as “non-urgent,” he would make him understand that through the cabinet, as he put it.
