  "summary": "The Australian government is considering new sanctions against Israel, but has decided not to join the UK, France, and Canada in banning trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Penny Wong has expressed concerns about the blanket ban announced by the UK, France, and Canada, but stated that Australia plans to implement targeted measures instead. The UK's foreign secretary, Ed Miliband, has strongly condemned Israel's occupation of the West Bank, calling efforts to control the territory unlawful and labeling settler actions as ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.",
