Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has released a joint statement with the leaders of Canada and New Zealand urging for a 'desperately' needed ceasefire in Gaza.
The prime minister has joined forces with the leaders of Canada and New Zealand to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Anthony Albanese, Justin Trudeau and Christopher Luxon released a joint statement on Friday urging Israel to listen to concerns raised by the international community. "The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. The human suffering is unacceptable. It cannot continue," the statement read. "An immediate ceasefire is needed desperately.
" An escalation of hostilities and rhetoric between the Hezbollah group and Israel was also flagged as a concern by the leaders. Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war and has since built settlements in the West Bank and steadily expanded them.
