While declaring they “do not presume to give strategic advice to Israel”, the former prime ministers state the “legitimate objective of defeating Hamas must be accompanied by support and protection for the civilian population of Gaza”. The former prime ministers condemned the"grotesque cruelty and violence" of Hamas and blamed the terrorist group for all deaths on both sides of the conflict. Picture Kym Smith/ News Corp Australia.

“Their mission is to promote hatred – hatred of Israelis, hatred of Jews, hatred of Palestinians, hatred of Muslims.The former prime ministers called for “sustained humanitarian access” to Gaza so that “essential supplies can reach innocent Palestnians,” before reaffirming their support for a two-state solution.
