Part 4/7:
A significant portion of Hansen’s critique centered on Australia's stance and the global response to the Hamas-Israel conflict. She expressed frustration over international leaders’ failure to enforce basic preconditions in negotiations, such as the release of hostages. Hansen emphasized that any peace process must start with clear ground rules—namely the return of hostages and cessation of violence—before any diplomatic solutions can be viable.
She was particularly dismissive of Albanese’s calls for a ceasefire, which she described as naive and dangerous. Hansen contrasted this cautious approach with her belief that force and clear ground rules are essential to a sustainable peace, arguing that Hamas and other groups are unlikely to disarm voluntarily without significant pressure.
