  • Sky News host James Macpherson says things are "getting really bad" between Australia and Israel. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly criticised Labor's support for Palestine at a UN meeting in New York this week.

The article from MSN discusses the escalating tensions between Australia and Israel, primarily due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has expressed concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, urging Israel to adhere to international law and protect civilian lives. This has led to a diplomatic rift, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticizing Australia's stance as "misguided." The situation has been further complicated by Australia's decision to abstain from a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire, which has drawn criticism from both pro-Palestinian groups and some within Australia's own political spectrum. The tension is also reflected in public opinion, with protests in Australia supporting both sides of the conflict, highlighting the complex and divisive nature of the issue.
