  1. Australia will move to recognise a state of Palestine at the next United Nations General Assembly next month, with a condition that terror group Hamas play no role in its future governance.

    New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters also [confirmed this afternoon](https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/569635/foreign-minister-winston-peters-raises-recognition-of-palestine-as-a-state-in-cabinet-meeting) the NZ government was carefully weighing its position on recognition and would decide in the next month.

    Across the Tasman, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia would work with the international community to make recognition a reality.

    “Australia will recognise the state of Palestine. Australia will recognise the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own, predicated on the commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority,” Albanese said.

    “A two-state solution is humanity’s best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza.”

  2. I don’t oppose this, conceptually. I ALSO believe in a two state solution as the best path to peace.

    …problem is considering how Australia has been acting toward both its own Jews and Jews in general lately, WHICH Palestinean government is it planning to recognize?

  3. I guess a Palestinian state would remove refugee status to all Palestinian refugees because now they would have a state. And Syria and Lebanon (and other) could in theory have any refugees move to the Palestinian state?

  4. Israel to stop recognising the “Western Imperial Colonial Project of Australia” in favour of Pitjantjatjara and its people.

    Israel to raise a case in the ICC for Australia’s persistent efforts to eradicate the Pitjantjatjara which amounts to genocide in contravention of international law.

    It baffles me Australia would reward terrorism, but they do have a socialist party in power

  5. I’m sure Hamas will thank Australia as they formally thanked France, the UK and Canada. This while starved Jews are forced to dig their own graves to the cameras, showing what Palestinian sovereignty without conditions leads to.

  6. Very soon the US will be the only country left in the west that doesnt recognise palestine
