澳大利亚劳工党内部组织劳工巴勒斯坦之友批评联邦政府未跟随英国、加拿大和法国对以色列约旦河西岸定居点实施贸易禁令1。该组织致信外交部长彭妮·王，敦促澳大利亚加入国际盟国的协调制裁行动，以应对针对巴勒斯坦人的暴力1。
王确认澳大利亚正在准备对以色列实施新一轮制裁，但明确拒绝加入英国的贸易禁令措施1。她指出澳大利亚未推进对以色列定居点产品的广泛禁令1。此前，澳大利亚曾在6月与加拿大、法国、挪威和英国联合对极端主义定居者实施协调制裁1。
英国外交大臣埃德·米利班德表示以色列对该领土的控制是非法的，并声称存在"在西岸地区发生的巴勒斯坦人种族清洗，由定居者恐怖分子实施"1。英国计划在六至九个月内执行禁令措施1。此外，九个欧洲国家也表示正在考虑类似的贸易限制举措1。
Australia's Labor Party internal organization, Labor Friends of Palestine, has criticized the federal government for declining to align with international allies on trade restrictions targeting Israeli settlements in the West Bank.1 The group has written to Foreign Minister Penny Wong, urging Australia to adopt coordinated sanctions alongside the United Kingdom, Canada, and France in response to violence against Palestinians.1
Wong has confirmed that Australia is preparing a new round of sanctions against Israel but has explicitly rejected joining the UK's trade ban on settlement products.1 Australia previously coordinated sanctions with Canada, France, Norway, and the United Kingdom in June targeting extremist settlers involved in violence.1 Wong stated that Australia has not advanced a broader prohibition on settlement goods from Israel.1 The government has already imposed sanctions on Israeli extremists for terror-related settler violence.1
The UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has characterized Israeli control of the territory as illegal and acknowledged the existence of "ethnic cleansing of Palestinians happening in the West Bank area, perpetrated by settler terrorists."1 The UK is implementing a six to nine-month implementation period for its trade ban, while nine European nations have indicated they are considering similar measures.1 The Labor Party's national platform agreed to a position shift on Palestine in July.1
