Australia’s PM reiterates backing for two-state solution

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese declined to comment directly on Donald Trump's remarks about "taking over" and "levelling" Gaza. Speaking to reporters, he instead reaffirmed Australia’s longstanding support for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.

“Australia’s position remains unchanged—today, last year, and a decade ago,” he said.

He also emphasised that Australia has consistently backed a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
