Australian minister calls for ceasefire after Israel's ‘horrific’ Gaza hospital attack

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has called on Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire after Israel’s "horrific" attack on Nasser Hospital on Monday killed five journalists and others.

“What we’ve seen overnight with the attack on a hospital is horrific, and what we would say to Prime Minister Netanyahu is you should heed the call of the world and agree to a ceasefire,” the minister said in a statement, according to the ABC.

“You should take the advice of your own military and agree to a ceasefire. This war must stop,” Wong added.
