Peter Dutton says the prime minster should prioritise a trip to Israel ahead of the United States.
Peter Dutton says Anthony Albanese should prioritise a visit to Tel Aviv ahead of his trip to the United States next week, as two Labor ministers effectively accused Israel of war crimes by pointing to its “collective punishment” of Palestinians in besieged Gaza.
As the carnage in Gaza worsens due to Israel’s reprisal raids, the uneasy truce that has held within Labor since the October 7 atrocities perpetrated in Israel by Hamas began to fray.Cabinet minister Ed Husic and junior minister Anne Aly, who are both Muslim, expressed sympathy for Israel but also spoke out at its reprisal tactics of bombardments and cutting off fuel, water and electricity, all of which is causing immense suffering in Gaza.
About 3000 Palestinians had thus far been killed in reprisal raids but “we don’t see any public landmarks in Australia that have been lit up in red, black, white and green”.
