Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed Australia will formally recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling the move “shameful” and warning it would “embolden Hamas”.

Speaking in Canberra after a cabinet meeting, Albanese said he had told Netanyahu directly that “the situation in Gaza has gone beyond the world’s worst fears” and that “a two-state solution is humanity’s best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East.” He outlined commitments secured from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, including recognition of Israel’s right to exist, demilitarisation, elections, governance reform, and an end to payments to the families of prisoners and martyrs. “Our government has made it clear that there can be no role for the terrorists of Hamas in any future Palestinian state,” Albanese said.

Netanyahu criticised Australia for following Europe down a “rabbit hole” of recognition, questioning how Australia would respond if terrorists attacked Sydney or Melbourne.

Albanese said the decision was part of a coordinated global push to “deliver self-determination for the people of Palestine in a way that isolates Hamas, disarms it and drives it out of the region once and for all.”

  1. Albo Albo Albo….hand-in-glove with Luxflake. Two mediocre leaders serving their own political ends. History will judge this as another stupid, utterly stupid, move. We, the plebo class, will pay.

  2. Oh, I see…wait until the country is totally genocided, destroyed, and unserviceable, and THEN recognise the pile of rubble that the world stood by and allowed it all to happen!
    PDA- (Pretty Damned Awful)!
    What the Zionist Talmudic-based Khazarian ‘J3w$’ are doing in the Middle East, they may soon do to the rest of the world.
    BUT-
    Why do I get the feeling that Mossad hit squads, and Assassination Teams in the CIA which are manned by Zionist J3w$ are waiting for the ‘go’ to start their evil and deceitful missions?
    MAYBE the PTB / FBI / Mossad have hidden dirty bombs planted in major cities…and are using the same to blackmail ‘leaders’ into supporting Israel, or…the J3w$ have pre-positioned the dirty bombs with plans to use the Samson Option.
    Read up on freedoms, liberties along with civil and human rights that are now being violated in the U.S. under ‘Operation Esther’…
    BTW- Israel murdered 5 Al-Jazeera reporters today, and are bragging about it!!!
    Amazing how the world swallows and endorses Nutanyahu’s lies!

  3. Big deal. The US backs Israel, that’s the end of the story. The killing will continue unchecked and any recognition, will be worth about as much as Poland’s statehood, during WWII.

  4. “All of Gaza and every child in Gaza should starve to death.” – Rabbi Ronen Shaulov
    An Israeli strike near a hospital in Gaza City last Sunday night killed five Al Jazeera journalists. They join a growing list of Palestinian journalists dead in Gaza, with the Committee to Protect Journalists saying 186 have now been killed since the war began.
    Over 500,000 dead and missing in Gaza alone. This does not include the wounded/maimed. Then there’s the settler killings of Palestinians in the West Bank and the occupation of their lands/homes, by these Zionist apartheid ethno-state lunatics.
    Zionist won’t do a “two state solution” when their mission is the greater Israel project, via ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are a pariah, a cancer, a scourge and need to be expelled. This British/Rothschild Zionist settler occupation experiment called the state of Israel needs to be expunged from the lands of Palestine forthwith.
