The foreign affairs minister, Penny Wong, has announced that Australia will work with international partners to 'deter illegal settlements and settler violence' but won’t follow the UK in implementing a trade ban with goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Wong said the government had concerns with a blanket ban, and that it could lead to unintended consequences for Australian businesses, for Palestinians and for Israelis Will UK sanctions have any impact on Israel’s ‘settler terrorists’ in West Bank?
