"Hamas, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza" (USA Special Envoy). 👇👇👇
We have decided to bring our team home from Doha for consultations after the latest response from Hamas, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good…
All statements and all claims should be directed at the only party responsible for the lack of a deal for the release of hostages and a ceasefire: Hamas, which started this war and is prolonging it.
Israel rejects the joint statement published by a group of countries, including Australia, as it is disconnected from reality and sends the wrong message to Hamas.

The IHRA definition of antisemitism is essential for clearly identifying and combating hatred against Jews in modern society. It provides a framework that recognises harmful stereotypes, double standards, and new forms of prejudice. In 2021, the Australian Labor Party joined key…

We unequivocally condemn the vile and despicable statement by Polish MEP Grzegorz Braun, denying the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz. This blatant Holocaust denial fuels antisemitism, spreads hate, and desecrates the memory of millions murdered by the Nazis. This is…
We welcome the release of Australia’s national plan to combat antisemitism- an important and timely initiative. Thank you to Special Envoy Jillian Segal and the Albanese government for recognising the urgency of this issue. The real test now lies in swift and effective…
Today, @BradBattinMP and I met with Israeli Ambassador @MaimonAmir to discuss the horrific and hateful events that unfolded during Friday night’s attacks on Melbourne’s Jewish community. These attacks are disgraceful. We are better than this. #springst
This morning I visited East Melbourne Synagogue with Rabbi Gutnick, President Segal and Deputy Premier @BenCarrollMP after the appalling arson attack. Antisemitism is vile and unacceptable, and yet it continues to show itself. The Jewish community is strong and united, but hate…
I was proud to take part in this morning’s launch of NAIDOC Week at @dfat. It was a meaningful opportunity to honour the strength, culture, and ongoing contributions of First Nations Australians. Thank you for the invitation. Standing together in dignity and respect has never…
It is disgraceful and vile that Melbourne’s oldest synagogue was targeted in an attempted arson attack last night. The East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, a place only filled with love, was met with pure hate. The Jewish people of Australia are strong and resilient, but no…
For the second time in three months, Toorak Synagogue has been disgracefully vandalised. This is not a form of protest, this is pure antisemitism. Targeting Jewish life will never be justified. It must be condemned clearly and forcefully.
First comes strength, then comes peace👇👇👇
President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’ First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, @realDonaldTrump and the United States acted with a lot of strength.
A few minutes ago, Iran launched a direct strike on Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba, a hospital serving over one million residents of southern Israel. This was no accident. This was not collateral damage. It was a targeted attack.
As the world’s eyes focus on Iran, we must not forget the 53 hostages who have been held for 620 days in Hamas’ terror dungeons. Israel will never stop fighting for their freedom. We will do everything possible to bring them home🎗🎗🎗
Israel acts with precision and purpose. It strikes Iran’s nuclear sites, weapons infrastructure, and leadership networks. Every effort is made to avoid civilian harm. Warnings are issued. Civilians are urged to evacuate. In contrast, the Iranian regime fires into our cities with…
History has shown what happens when the world ignores regimes that preach hatred, promise annihilation, and are left to build the means to carry it out. Iran isn’t hiding its intent, it declares it. And it’s building the weapons to fulfil it. Through its pursuit of nuclear…
It is difficult to follow from a distance what is happening in Israel at this time. Millions of citizens have rushed to shelters as Iran targets major population centers. These are everyday people, including my own family, my children and my grandchildren. I pray for their…
