Australia is preparing to recognize the State of Palestine during the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced this decisive move, which aims to support international efforts toward achieving a two-state solution, securing a ceasefire in Gaza, and facilitating the release of hostages.
Historically, Australia has supported Israel’s right to exist, dating back to 1947 when it played a pivotal role at the United Nations by recommending the establishment of two states coexisting side by side.
The Australian government has received assurances that Hamas will not participate in the future Palestinian government. This development aligns with actions taken by countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Canada, thus strengthening global momentum to resolve the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Prime Minister Albanese underscored Australia’s ongoing dedication to:
- Peace
- Security
- A just resolution to the conflict
The international community regards the recognition of Palestine as a critical step towards lasting stability in the Middle East region.
This announcement arrives amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and represents a significant addition to the increasing international support for Palestinian statehood recognition.
