The Australian government, led by the Labor party and Foreign Minister Penny Wong, has indicated a potential shift in policy towards the recognition of a Palestinian state as part of an international effort to end the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Wong stated that the recognition would come with the condition that Hamas plays no role in the future Palestinian state. The announcement has sparked a range of reactions, including criticism from Australia's Jewish community and accusations of emboldening terrorists and reinforcing extremism. The policy shift aims to build momentum towards a two-state solution, ensuring a safe and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
