Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the responsibility for 'what is happening now rests firmly with Hamas and the actions that they have taken', as Israel continues to bomb Gaza in retaliation for deadly Hamas attacks on 7 October.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he has no plans for a diplomatic visit to Israel despite pressure from the federal Opposition to meet with Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu. Anthony Albanese said the government remains united in its stance on the Hamas-Israel war despite remarks by some cabinet members labelled as "out of line" by the Opposition.

" Albanese denied frontbenchers have undermined the government's support for Israel, following Industry and Science Minister Ed Husic's claim Israel's response to Hamas' attacks this month is collectively punishing innocent Palestinians. Husic called for a de-escalation in the conflict, saying an occupation of Gaza served neither Israeli nor Palestinian interests in the long term.
