Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing him as a "problem" and stating that his government has "gone too far." Frederiksen condemned the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the expansion of settlements in the West Bank as "disgusting," "appalling," and "catastrophic." She indicated Denmark's intention to use its presidency of the European Union to apply political pressure and possibly sanctions against Israeli settlers, ministers, or Israel itself. Meanwhile, the Australian government has banned senior Israeli politician Simcha Rothman, a member of the Religious Zionism party known for his hardline views including labeling children in Gaza as "enemies" and advocating for Israel's full control over the West Bank. Rothman has been barred from entering Australia for three years and had been scheduled to speak at public events there. In New Zealand, MP Chlöe Swarbrick was expelled from parliament after criticizing her government’s stance on Israel and describing Israel's war on Gaza as genocide, reflecting heightened tensions and international responses to the ongoing conflict.
