A leading MP, who spent six years living in Australia, says asking Israel to pause was the equivalent of asking the US to aid al-Qaeda after 9/11.
Israel has forcefully rejected the Australian government’s push for a humanitarian pause to hostilities in Gaza, with a leading member of the Knesset declaring it the equivalent of pressing the United States to supply terror group al-Qaeda with funding and fuel after the September 11 attacks.
“Try and imagine that after the 9/11 attacks America was asked to supply fuel money, food and medication to al-Qaeda. Never,” she told this masthead. Haskel, who worked as a veterinarian in Bondi before being elected to the Knesset, said Israelis would “of course” appreciate a visit by Albanese. Opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson this week called on Albanese to send Wong to Israel in a sign of support if he was unable to make the trip.
