Israel has ‘weaned off' idea of two-state solution with Palestine following Oct 7 atrocities

Sky News AU27-06-2025
Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council Joel Burnie says a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine cannot happen without 'deep reform of the Palestinian Authority'.
'For obvious reasons, but mainly because of Palestinian rejectionism of previous offers, plus the bloody responses that come through those offers, mainly the second intifada, and obviously October 7, the Israeli public has unfortunately been weaned off the idea that there is a partner for peace,' Mr Burnie told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus.
'The idea of somehow recognising that the two-state solution is the ultimate aim, but that caveat is, is that it would require deep modification and the removal of the corruption of the Palestinian Authority.
'The Palestinian Authority… is currently paying the stipends of Hamas terrorists who entered Israel on October 7, there is significant change that is required within the Palestinian political society.'

Albanese under pressure to recognise Palestinian statehood

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under pressure to recognise Palestinian statehood as Australia signs a 50-year defence treaty with the UK. The Prime Minister on Friday issued his most firm statement yet on the conflict in the Palestinian enclave, amid growing international concerns of a starvation crisis in the Gaza Strip. Mr Albanese called on Israel to "comply immediately with its obligations under international law" as Gaza is "in the grip of a humanitarian catastrophe".

‘Hamas is the cause': PM slammed for ‘one-sided' criticisms of Israel

Former Howard government minister Peter McGauran has labelled Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as acting 'one-sided' for his attacks on Israel in its war against Hamas. Mr Albanese called on Israel to "comply immediately with its obligations under international law" as Gaza is "in the grip of a humanitarian catastrophe". 'The problem for Prime Minister Albanese, as it is for every Western leader, is that Hamas is the cause of the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people,' Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia. 'To criticise Israel or to punish Israel without correspondingly condemning Hamas in the same terms, I think is one-sided.'
