Anne Aly said the confrontation with pro-Palestinian activists in a park last weekend was not the first, but was the most intense clash she had experienced.
Early Education Minister Anne Aly has warned that heightened tensions in the community over the war in Gaza have forced some politicians to retreat from public events, following a heated exchange she had with pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Perth last Saturday.
“Many of my colleagues have faced similar or worse to the point that many of them have had to stop doing open air offices, which I think you know, is a real shame for those members of the community who need to have open access to their federal members,” Aly said.
Washington, which traditionally has shielded Israel at the UN, has incrementally applied more pressure to its longtime ally, and the draft Security Council resolution marked a further toughening. Australia has since December supported the UN’s call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the restoration of aid to people trapped in the war zone, but has not explicitly condemned Israel.
