Does the UK statement overnight, where the UK says it will recognise a Palestinian state in September (at the UN general assembly) if Israel doesn’t stop with its genocidal acts and commit to a sustained peace (again, I am paraphrasing) influence Australia’s decision making?

Anthony Albanese:

Well, the world is continuing to engage with each other, both informally and formally as well, there have three statements.

The world was horrified by the terrorist act and the atrocities committed by Hamas on October seven.

The world looks on what is happening in Gaza and expresses that it is unjustified – that the ongoing loss of innocent life is a tragedy. we stand by the comments that we have made.

Anyone who looks at that is producing a response from the world as well, that as I’ve said, to the Israeli President Hergog in May that Israel increasingly is losing support. We are seeing people express their opposition to those actions.
