Anthony Albanese condemns ‘slaughter of innocent people’ by Hamas – video
When Iran attacks:
"Iran's ongong flouting of international law, its egregious human rights abuses and threat to International security is why this Government has imposed targeted financial sanctions and travel bans, including Magnitsky-style sanctions, on 85 individuals and 97 entities."
What about when Israel attacks? Can someone share what he said?
@rowlandm I have just been looking for any official Australian government response to the illegal attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus by Israel on 1st April. I have not managed to find anything. The only news stories I could find about PM Albanese or Minister Wong sending a message to the Israeli government during the first days of April related to the IDF slaughter of the 7 international humanitarian aid workers (one of whom was Australian).
As for direct public statements from PM Albanese to the Israeli government concerning its slaughter of tens of thousands of people in Gaza, the overwhelming majority of them non-combatants, or its deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war, or the findings of the ICJ that it is plausible that Israel may be engaging in genocidal acts, there's little beyond "Hamas bear responsibility for what is happening" (i.e. green light) and then a bit later "show some restraint".
