EU foreign ministers have not reached a consensus to approve sanctions against Israel's far Right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas said on Monday.

"Many member states have also proposed to sanction Ben-Gvir, but no consensus on that was reached," she said.

Western governments have expressed outrage after Ben-Gvir posted a video ​of himself taunting activists who had intended to ​bring humanitarian aid to Gaza being pinned to the ground.
