Australia has sanctioned Israeli settler farming outposts in the West Bank for the first time in response to escalating violence in the contested Palestinian territory.
The new diplomatic penalties against four settler farming outposts and three individuals, which took effect on Tuesday, are the latest in a long list applying to far-right Israeli figures.
The federal government has previously sanctioned Israel's national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who posted a video of himself berating pro-Palestine activists in May.
