Israeli Knesset vote 'denies' reality: Australian minister

Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong reiterated her country's support for a two-state solution following the Israeli Knesset vote rejecting Palestinian statehood.

"A secure and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians will only come with a two-state solution. A Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel," she said on X.

"Today’s Knesset vote denies this reality."

Wong also repeated Australia's call for "an immediate ceasefire, release of hostages, protection of civilians and unimpeded flow of desperately needed humanitarian aid".
