Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has issued his strongest condemnation yet of Israel's actions in Gaza, accusing the country of 'clearly' breaching international law by blocking aid and causing mass civilian casualties. Albanese described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as 'beyond the world's worst fears,' highlighting the starvation and deaths of children. Despite mounting pressure from within his own Labor Party and international allies to recognize Palestinian statehood, Albanese insists that such recognition must be more than a symbolic gesture and will not happen imminently. The government faces internal and external calls for sanctions on Israel and a more decisive stance, but maintains its current position while urging Israel to comply with international law. The debate has sparked significant political and public activism across Australia.
