"The individuals and entities sanctioned today have undermined Israel's own security and its standing in the world and harmed the interests of the Israeli people.

"Australia's imposition of sanctions against them reflects our commitment to Israel and Palestine's security and future."

What a fucking joke. Pathetic.

Exactly. Why is our govt not even doing a squeak about Netanyahu directing the Israeli military to take control of 70 percent of Gaza’s territory, significantly expanding beyond the terms of the October 2025 'ceasefire' agreement. This will force 2.2 million people in Gaza into less than a third of the original territory. Under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement, Israeli forces had withdrawn to a demarcation line known as the yellow line that left them controlling roughly 53 percent of Gaza (CNN). They don't respect any agreement and our govt (and othrs) continue saying nothing but platitudes and comments that don't actually have any value. As you say, pathetic.
