Sanctions not working. Israeli settler violence continues unopposed

Australia’s sanctions regime on Israel is not holding many perpetrators accountable for grave human rights abuses and war crimes.

As illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence escalate across the occupied West Bank, Australia has sanctioned only half of those sanctioned by our allies.

Despite Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s recent announcement of additional sanctions, Australia’s response has not only been minimal, slow and ineffective, with any serious sanctions reform in effect ‘vetoed’ by the Israel Lobby.

Amnesty International has just released a major report detailing Israel’s accelerating annexation and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank – particularly the Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities.

The report is It is a detailed and chilling account of Israel’s state-led and state-funded systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing and settler-army violence. Resulting in an “exponential rise in state-backed settler violence

terrorising and expelling thousands of Palestinians to annex land.

Settler escalations ignored

Israeli settlements, considered ‘illegal’ under international law, have increased by 80% since the far-right Netanyahu Government took power, with 102 new settlements established since 2022.

Since October 7, 2023, the West Bank has seen a major escalation in Israel’s State-sponsored ethnic cleansing, including state-led settlement expansion, forced displacement, illegal land confiscations and settler-army violence.

Controversial measures such as the E1 settlement project and new land ownership rules have been designed to undermine the 1993 Oslo Accords, and ‘accelerate settlements’; and importantly, establish “de facto” annexation of the West Bank and, in the words of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich,

bury the idea of a Palestinian State.

Since October 2023, there have been more than 3,000 settler and military attacks across the West Bank— approximately five every day —killing 1,096 Palestinians, around one-fifth of them children.

In January 2026 alone, more than 200 violent settler-army attacks were reported in the Masafer Yatta region in the South Hebron Hills. At least 50 Palestinian villages, mostly Bedouin herding communities, have been totally erased and displaced from their historic lands.

Settlers have seized over 18% of the land designated for a future Palestinian state, with few repercussions.
