Aussie FM Reacts to Israeli Visa Revocation for Diplomats
At a time when dialogue and diplomacy are needed more than ever, the Netanyahu Government is isolating Israel and undermining international efforts towards peace and a two-state solution.
This is an unjustified reaction, following Australia’s decision to recognise Palestine.
We will continue to work with partners as we contribute international momentum to a two-state solution, a ceasefire in Gaza and release of the hostages.
Australia welcomes different races, religions and views, united by respect for each other’s humanity and for each other’s right to live in peace.
We safeguard our communities and protect all Australians from hate and harm.
The Australian Government will always take decisive action against antisemitism.
