Many Australians will join WILPF in welcoming Prime Minister Albanese’s commitment to recognise the State of Palestine.
It comes at a crucial time as the international community demands the Netanyahu regime cease using militarisation to resolve an historic injustice which gave all power of control over Palestinians.
It is important that the Australian Government further increase pressure on the Israeli government through sanctions and arms embargoes similar to those already imposed on Russia after President Putin was also named as a war criminal.
Australia is well regarded for its considerable contribution to international peacekeeping so it is essential Mr Albanese and Minister Wong work for demilitarisation of this region so a two state solution has a real chance of success.
