Activists within the Greens party are pushing to transform it into a hard-left force with strong pro-Palestinian sympathies. This shift comes amid a broader political dispute between the Greens and the Labor Party over the Gaza conflict. In a significant development, Labor is set to appoint the first Palestinian-Australian federal politician, replacing a veteran Labor MP. Greens leader Adam Bandt has intensified his anti-Israel stance, advocating for sanctions against Israel's 'extreme war cabinet' and defending pro-Palestine protests across Australia.
