The UN vote on whether to admit Palestine as a full member is symbolic, but would be seen as an important test for the level of international support for a Palestinian state.

Australia is preparing to cast a potentially controversial vote on whether to admit Palestine as a full member of the United Nations, a move that would be applauded by Palestinian advocates but denounced by Israel as rewarding militant group Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attacks.

The Israeli government, which continues to negotiate a possible ceasefire deal with Hamas, has said it is necessary to conduct ground operations in Rafah to dismantle the group’s remaining battalions. The Albanese government, which has the option to abstain from voting, has not reached a final decision because the precise wording of the resolution is still being decided.

Australia Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni called for the government to seize a “historic opportunity” to support Palestinian self-determination.
