The two polarizing figures, Bentzi Gopstein and Baruch Marzel, were previously banned from a Knesset run

Twitter blocked the accounts of far-right Israeli political activists Bentzi Gopstein and Baruch Marzel on Wednesday.

Neither party was permitted to appeal this decision.

Baruch Marzel heads the Jewish National Front party and has worked for the controversial Rabbi Meir Kahane in the past. Bentzi Gopstein is known for founding the Lehava organization.

The two polarizing figures have been subject to sharp criticism in Israel over the course of several years for their extremist views.
