Iran has launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel, an attack that may trigger a wider conflict in the Middle East.
Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy says the whole world has feared regional escalation ofthe violence in Israel and Gaza since the beginning of the conflict.Following Iran’s launch of drone and missile attacks at Israel, Conroy told Sky News on Sunday urged the “malign actor” to step back to avoid a broader conflict in the Middle East.
“We urge Iran to take a step back, they have an opportunity to reverse their course of being a malign actor in this region.”Opposition Immigration spokesman Dan Tehan said the Australian government needed to offer its full support to Israel, adding “their sovereignty is once again at risk.”“I hope the government and the prime minister will show leadership, and support Israeli sovereignty and its right to defend itself,” Tehan said.
