ALBANESE SHAMED BY PRAISE FROM HAMAS TERRORISTS
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese should hang his head in shame after being praised today by the terrorist group Hamas for his decision to recognise a Palestinian state.
Mr Albanese has emboldened a terror group who murder civilians in cold blood and still hold 50 Israeli hostages in tunnels under Gaza.
All Australians should be appalled at the massive propaganda victory Mr Albanese has handed Hamas on a platter.
This is a sad day for our nation.
Mr Albanese has been proved to be completely out of his depth on this vital foreign policy matter.
Mr Albanese told Australians Hamas would reject his position to recognise a Palestinian state.
When terrorists are cheering Australia’s foreign policy it is clear proof it is wrong.
Mr Albanese should explain whether he’ll still pursue recognition knowing it has the clear endorsement of terrorists.
The Coalition wants Israeli hostages to be released, Gazans to be fed and for the war to end.
But the Albanese Government’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state outside of a proper peace and two-state process will not deliver that outcome.
The clear endorsement of Mr Albanese’s decision by a radical terrorist group in Hamas is exactly why the Coalition rejected the proposal and would revoke it in government.
