“An Arab human rights non-governmental organisation (NGO) has filed a request for United Kingdom sanctions to be lodged against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over ‘incitement to violence and genocide against Palestinians’ in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. British law firm Deighton Pierce Glynn filed the request on Tuesday with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on behalf of the Arab Organisation for Human Rights UK (AOHR UK), seeking targeted financial and travel sanctions against the Israeli leader. … Last year, a United Nations inquiry found that statements from Netanyahu and Israel’s top leadership had amounted to the ‘incitement to commit genocide’ in Gaza during the war. The submission adds that sanctions should be applied to Netanyahu over his responsibility for ‘unlawful military operations in Gaza’ as he is the country’s highest-ranking official.” (01/20/26)
