Australia has sanctioned Israelis involved in attacking and killing Palestinians in the West Bank. Seven Israelis have been hit with travel bans and financial sanctions for participating in settler violence in the Palestinian territory. The individuals have been linked to beatings, sexual assaults and the torture of Palestinians, causing injuries and death, a statement from Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s office said.
“This is a state that has had a lot of support in the international community, and Israel should recognise the importance of its standing and legitimacy in the international community.” The sanctions follow a US decision to sanction entities and individuals connected to acts of violence against civilians in the West Bank. The Australian government has continued to advocate for a ceasefire in Gaza.
