Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the responsibility for 'what is happening now rests firmly with Hamas and the actions that they have taken', as Israel continues to bomb Gaza in retaliation for deadly Hamas attacks on 7 October.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he has no plans for a diplomatic visit to Israel despite pressure from the federal Opposition to meet with Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu. Albanese is prioritising travel to the United States on 23 October to meet with its president Joe Biden, who recently returned from a brief trip to Israel where he met with Netanyahu.
"It is hard to argue that children are Hamas, and therefore deserve to pay the price with their lives for the actions of Hamas," she told reporters on Thursday. But Swan told Nine's Today Show statements from Husic and Aly "don't depart in any way from the government's position". Support for Israel's right to exist and to defend itself can coexist alongside calls to avoid the loss of innocent life, he said.
