Australia will recognise Palestine at UN meeting in September<\/a><\/p>\nAustralia 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.<\/p>\n
Mr Sa’ar said with antisemitism on the rise, the Australian government is fuelling the crisis with false accusations.<\/p>\n
He says Australia’s ambassador to Israel has been notified.<\/p>\n
The ABC understands the decision may only affect two staff.<\/p>\n
Ms Bethany Randell, a career officer with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), is the current representative to the Occupied Palestinian Territories.<\/p>\n
Last week, Australia announced it will move to recognise a state of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September after France, the United Kingdom and Canada made similar pledges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said this was on the condition that terror group Hamas play no role in its future governance.<\/p>\n
“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,” Mr Albanese said.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
The visa of Mr Rothman, a member of Israel’s far right Mafdal-Religious Zionism party, was cancelled earlier on Monday just days before he was due to arrive in Australia for a speaking event.<\/p>\n
Mr Rothman, whose party is part of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition, has previously advocated for the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, and denied claims of starvation in the territory.<\/p>\n
