  • Nationals Senate Leader Bridget McKenzie has commented on the possible ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

The article from MSN discusses the perceived lack of support from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong towards Israel amidst its ongoing conflict with Hamas. It criticizes their response to the situation, particularly highlighting their failure to unequivocally condemn Hamas's actions, which the article describes as terrorism. Instead, Albanese and Wong have called for restraint and de-escalation from both sides, which the author interprets as a moral equivalence between Israel's defensive actions and Hamas's attacks. The piece argues that this stance not only shows a disregard for Israel's security but also reflects a broader trend of diminishing support for Israel within the Labor Party. It points out that while Albanese and Wong have condemned violence, they have not specifically labeled Hamas as a terrorist organization in their public statements, which the author believes is a significant oversight. The article also mentions the historical context of Australia's relationship with Israel, suggesting that the current government's approach marks a shift from previous administrations' more supportive stance towards Israel.
