Klingbeil, who is also co-leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), stated in an appearance on Sat.1 television channel's "newstime" program that Ben-Gvir's words were unacceptable to the German government, adding that sanctions at the European level should be considered "very seriously."
Klingbeil, describing Ben-Gvir's stance as "inhumane," said, "I stand in solidarity with the State of Israel, but I do not stand in solidarity with such ministers."
Klingbeil emphasized that individuals like Ben-Gvir constantly escalate tensions, stating, "A line has been crossed. The federal government must clearly oppose this. And I am doing so here."
Greens Call for "Entry Ban" on Ben-Gvir
Greens Party leader Franziska Brantner also called on the federal government to "impose an entry ban on Ben-Gvir to Germany."
In a statement to the Politico news portal, Brantner described Ben-Gvir's words as "extremely disturbing and inhumane," saying, "We must draw a clear line on this, we have to draw one."
Brantner pointed out that Ben-Gvir had previously called for violence against Palestinians and that some European countries have already imposed sanctions against the Israeli Minister, adding, "It's time for Germany to join these countries."
Jürgen Hardt, foreign policy expert for Germany's ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party and foreign policy spokesperson for the Christian Union (CDU/CSU) group in the Bundestag, had also called yesterday for the European Union (EU) to impose sanctions on Ben-Gvir.
Itamar Ben-Gvir had stated that 30-40 attacks should be carried out on Gaza every night, adding, "It's not just those who endanger you. There are people there who should not survive. They should not live."
