Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has issued his strongest condemnation yet of Israel's actions in Gaza, accusing the country of breaching international law by blocking aid and causing mass civilian suffering. Albanese described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as 'beyond the world's worst fears,' citing starvation and the deaths of children as indefensible. Despite mounting pressure from within his party and public protests, Albanese stated that Australia will not imminently recognize a Palestinian state, but will work constructively toward a two-state solution. The government has called on Israel to immediately comply with international law and allow aid into Gaza. The crisis has sparked significant debate and protest within Australia, with calls for sanctions against Israel and urgent action to address the humanitarian catastrophe.
