Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong says the Albanese government has advocated for the protection of civilian lives and “humanitarian law to be observed” during the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Ms Wong said the Albanese government has taken a “principle approach” since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war. “We have unequivocally condemned Hamas and its acts of terror; we have recognized that in response to that any state has a right to exercise its self-defence,” Ms Wong told Sky News Australia.
“We have also said to Israel, and publicly, that how you undertake that matters; even in war, there are principles and rules which must be followed. “We have advocated consistently for civilian lives to be protected, for humanitarian law to be observed, and we have advocated for restraint.”
