Part 8/11:
Albanese’s recognition has been praised by Hamas terrorists and condemned by Israel. Critics question whether this move will bring political gains domestically, comparing it to the controversial "Voice" referendum—an initiative that polarizes Australian society. They point out that Albanese appears to fall for Hamas’s narrative, ignoring the complexities of Palestinian leadership, especially Mahmoud Abbas, whose administration has been accused of corruption and lack of elections since 2009. Human Rights Watch reports funding diverted into Abbas’s pockets, further undermining credibility.
