Albanese joined a “coalition of the willing” meeting overnight, led by the UK and France, seeking to support Ukraine in the conflict. Anthony Albanese has said that the way to rebuild the relationship between Australia and Israel is to “continue to put forward Australia’s position”.

Australia has joined a contingent of more than 20 countries in condemning a major settlement project greenlit by the Israeli government, claiming it would make a two-state solution with Palestine “impossible”.

The Israeli prime minister appeared on Sky News on Thursday evening, continuing his criticism of Albanese following the Australian government's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood in September.

Israel has since revoked the accreditation of Australia’s representatives to the Palestinian Authority, after Australia’s home minister, Tony Burke, cancelled the visa of a prominent far-right Israeli politician, accusing him of intending to “spread a message of hate”.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke hit back at the Israeli prime minister's attack on Anthony Albanese, as he defended the decision to cancel the visa of a member of Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition.

After call, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is "in denial" about humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
