Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at the upcoming UN General Assembly, according to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He stated that a two-state solution is crucial for breaking the cycle of violence in the Middle East and alleviating suffering in Gaza. This announcement comes in conjunction with similar recognition from Canada, France, and the UK. The Liberal Party expressed criticism, arguing that this decision conflicts with Australia’s alignment with the United States and undermines a bipartisan stance against recognition while Hamas controls Gaza.
A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza.

Hundreds of thousands of Australians marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to protest Israel's war in the Gaza Strip.
The opposition Liberal Party criticized the move, saying it put Australia at odds with the United States, its closest ally, and reversed a bipartisan consensus.
