Part 4/8:
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his Foreign Minister have articulated their position strongly, asserting that the recognition is an essential step toward supporting a two-state solution. They stressed that this move helps cement the international community’s stance on the importance of a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The government maintains that the recognition is intended to support a future where Hamas is not part of Palestinian governance—underscoring their commitment to isolating the group as a terrorist entity.
