Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says civilians need to be protected as Israel advances a ground operation in Gaza. Asked whether he supported a statement from six former prime ministers who called for an end to religious hatred amid rising tensions over Israel’s response against Hamas in Gaza, Albanese said his position had been clear that Israel had to self-defence but it also had a responsibility to protect civilians living in conflict areas.
“We need to make sure, as well, that every civilian life is valued, whether it be Israeli or Palestinian - every innocent loss of life is a tragedy.” The prime minister spoke the week after returning from the US where he appeared united with US president Joe Biden in support for Israel against the threat of terror.
