Foreign Minister Penny Wong has accused the Opposition of going “too far” in its foreign policy position regarding Israel amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong has accused the Opposition of going “too far” and stoking social division over the Middle East conflict following days of parliamentary debate surrounding the wording of an October 7 motion.Labor has expressed it supported Israel ’s “right to defend itself” but pushed for a ceasefire and a diplomatic approach to resolve the war.
“Mr Dutton is out of step with the majority in the international community, including allies such as the US, the United Kingdom, members of the G7.” “Whenever there is a moment where we need Australians to come together, You can always count on Peter Dutton to look to divide Australians.” The international community has, for the most part, supported a ceasefire and called for Israel to de-escalate the conflict.
