A military spokesman singled out lord mayor Clover Moore, who opposes lighting up the Sydney Town Hall in Israeli colours, when doubling down on comments about taking sides in the Hamas-Israel war.
An Israel Defence Forces spokesman has taken a swipe at lord mayor Clover Moore over her expected move to block the lighting up of the Sydney Town Hall with the colours of the Israeli flag. A Liberal councillor at the City of Sydney is expected to put forward a motion in support of the display at Monday night's council meeting, but Moore told the Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday "one-sided motions or statements are divisive and harmful".
" He said he would direct his comments about taking sides to "anybody, from the everyday person in the kitchen listening to our broadcast and thinking of where they stand, and I will direct it to people of power, elected officials who have a moral obligation to stand for what's right.
