A call for a global coalition to fight Hamas terrorists in Gaza has triggered Australian concerns about the risk of a “spillover” into wider conflict in the Middle East, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese urging humanitarian help instead.
While Australia is a member of the international coalition against IS, Albanese responded with caution when asked about the French proposal at a press conference in front of the White House during his four-day visit to the US capital. Macron said that countries fighting IS in Iraq and Syria “should also fight against Hamas” and that France was ready to do so.
“Our focus right now is making sure Israel has what it needs to defend itself and to go after Hamas, particularly leadership,” said the US National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, John Kirby, when asked about Macron’s remarks.
