Australia & New Zealand Sanction Israeli Settlers Over West Bank Violence

Australia and New Zealand have imposed travel bans and financial restrictions on three Israeli individuals and four entities linked to settler violence in the West Bank, marking the first time Australia has sanctioned farming outposts tied to such activity. The growing international isolation of Israel — including sanctions from traditional Western allies — mirrors the biblical pattern of all nations turning against Israel in the last days. Zechariah 12:3 warns that Jerusalem will become 'a burdensome stone for all peoples' as the nations gather against her in the end times.
