On the statement Australia has co-signed calling for Israel’s war on Gaza to end (the language in the statement is much more passive, but it is the strongest one we have to date, even if it doesn’t actually include any sanctions or action) Gorman says:

The war in Gaza must end. The fact that we are not seeing vital aid, food and humanitarian supplies get to civilians in Gaza is unacceptable, and it’s been unacceptable for a long time. We joined with like-minded partners to say very clearly that we believe that the war in Gaza must end. Since the atrocities of October 7 we’ve been calling for the return of hostages, and we continued even this statement where we joined with like-minded countries, including the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Japan. We joined with them in saying that we want to see an end to this conflict. It’s a clear statement from us and a range of partners, and we hope that this will get that outcome that we’ve been seeking for for a long time.
