7NEWS breaking news live blog: US slams Australia over Palestine call, allegedly drunk driver rolls truck
A top US official has sensationally slammed Australia's plan to recognise Palestine as a state. In an interview with ABC's 7.30, US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said he discussed Australia's decision with Donald Trump and other members of the Trump administration, who expressed an 'enormous level of disappointment and some disgust'. 'I don't know that the president used that word, (but) I would say that is a characterisation of a sentiment,' he said. 'I think it does express the emotional sentiment, a sense of, 'You've got to be kidding ... why would they be doing this? And why would they be doing it now'. 'I think the timing has been very hurtful to any prospects of negotiating some settlement in Gaza with Hamas ... this is a gift to them, and it's unfortunate.' On Monday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed the government will join France, the UK and Canada in recognising Palestine at a United Nations General Assembly meeting in September. More than 140 of 193 UN member states already recognise Palestine, including European Union member states Spain and Ireland. Huckabee said the US was blindsided by Albanese's announcement of recognising Palestinian statehood. 'As Israel's closest partner, we would've expected that there would've been some heads up. There wasn't. This was done unilaterally. That was a disappointment,' he said. The US ambassador to Israel has labelled Australia's decision as disappointing and disgusting.
