Anthony Albanese stated that Israel's conduct in Gaza constitutes a breach of international law and humanity. He highlighted evidence of Israel's violations, including indiscriminate targeting of civilians and failures to meet Geneva convention obligations. Such unambiguous statements from an Australian prime minister regarding a close ally are rare. The government has previously issued joint statements with other nations decrying the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. There is potential for Australia to impose further autonomous sanctions on Israel in response to the ongoing conflict and to violations of human rights.
