Australian PM reveals why he decided to recognise a Palestinian state
Australia announced its intention to recognise a Palestinian state at the upcoming UN General Assembly, following other G20 members' openness to such recognition.
This recognition is conditional on commitments from the Palestinian Authority, including no role for Hamas, demilitarisation of Gaza, and the holding of elections.
Mr Netanyahu condemned Australia's decision as "shameful," while Israel 's ambassador to Australia claimed it undermines Israel's security.
Mr Albanese stated that Israel's reluctance to listen to its allies contributed to Australia's decision, arguing that a two-state solution offers the best hope to end the conflict.

This is the face of anti-immigration rallies planned around Australia... now his shock ties to one of the country's wealthiest families can be revealed
A coordinator behind a series of planned anti-immigration rallies across Australia has come under fire over his links to one of Australia's biggest property developers. Hugo Lennon, also known as 'Auspill', has encouraged his followers to stand up against 'mass immigration' at a series of rallies scheduled for August 31 - a problem he believes exacerbates the country's housing shortage. Mr Lennon has been revealed as the grandson of Tony Lennon, the millionaire ex-chairman of one of Australia's largest real estate development companies, Peet Limited. The 82-year-old, who retired last year but retained a sizeable shareholding, has been listed on Western Australia 's top-50 rich list multiple times with an estimated wealth of up to half a billion dollars. The company, which Mr Lennon's father Anthony serves as non-executive director, has one of the biggest residential landbanks of any ASX-listed property group. A number of online creators have taken issue with Mr Lennon's housing advocacy, given his family's deep ties to the WA property market. Mr Lennon, who has attracted more than 80,000 followers on TikTok in just over a year, recently called on his followers to 'end mass immigration' by attending the upcoming 'March for Australia' (MFA) rallies. 'It will be a peaceful march advocating for something virtually every Australian agrees on: that immigration has to be reduced,' he said. 'Australians have been ignored on immigration for a long time and that's gonna come to an end because on the 31st Australians will voice this majority opinion to have an end to mass immigration.' Organisers claim 'endless migration, weak leadership and political cowardice' have overstretched the housing supply and caused the country to change in ways 'most of us never agreed to'. 'It's time to take our country back. It's time to defend our way of life. It's time to defend our culture. Stop mass immigration now,' one flyer read. According to Mr Lennon's 'Auspill' account was listed as a moderator and administrator of the March for Australia Facebook group until recently. He told the outlet his account was removed as MFA did not wish to be 'connected to any one name and thus any one set of politics'. 'The reasons expressed by MFA are broad, they reflect the organisers' and supporters' diverse political backgrounds,' he said. 'Concerns around mass immigration include housing shortages, demographic change, infrastructure strain, environmental impacts, water supply shortages and fractured social cohesion.' MFA has attempted to distance itself from radical figures, including the leader of the National Socialist Network, and has previously expressed concern over fringe players attempting to hijack the event. In a statement posted to the MFA Facebook group on Friday, Mr Lennon wrote Australians had been sidelined over mass immigration which, he claimed, had transformed their 'way of life'. 'So we have a situation where the benefactors of mass immigration have clearly set the policy, they've decided the numbers, the types, and the discussions that are allowed to be had- all while millions of Australians are ignored for decades,' he said. 'The supreme betrayal of the political class is to disregard the clear and settled will of the Australian people on a matter that shapes their daily lives so directly. 'Australians are being told by their rulers that they must bear the burden of a transformation they never sought and do not consent to, a transformation that strikes at the heart of our national character and way of life. 'To ignore the voice of the nation is not merely folly; it is to tear at the very foundation of consent on which our democracy rests.'

The US State Department announced it was halting all visitor visas for people from pause was issued to conduct a "full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days," the agency said on decision has drawn condemnation from some Palestinian rights Children's Relief Fund said in a statement that the decision "will have a devastating and irreversible impact on our ability to bring injured and critically ill children from Gaza to the United States for lifesaving medical treatment". The State Department's policy shift comes after far right activist Laura Loomer wrote a series of posts on X criticising the visa programme and urging the Trump administration to "shut this abomination down."In subsequent posts on X Saturday, Loomer took credit for the shift and thanked Secretary of State Marco Rubio for temporarily halting the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund says it has evacuated 169 children from Gaza in 2024 as part of its treatment abroad programme, bringing them to the Middle East, Europe, South Africa, and the US for and a half years into a war that followed Hamas' 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, Gaza has seen much of its medical infrastructure damaged and now faces dramatic food groups have alleged that an Israeli blockade beginning in March has prevented non-governmental organisations from delivering sufficient food into Gaza.

US state department stops issuing visas for Gaza children to get medical care
The US state department announced on Saturday that it would stop issuing visas to children from Gaza in desperate need of medical care after an online pressure campaign from Laura Loomer, a far-right influencer close to Donald Trump who has described herself as 'a proud Islamophobe'. 'All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,' the state department said in a message posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, which Loomer was banned from before it was purchased by Elon Musk. In a pair of posts on the social network on Friday, Loomer had shared video of badly injured Palestinian children and their family members arriving in Houston and San Francisco this month, along with false claims that their shouts of joy were 'jihadi chants' and that they were 'doing the HAMAS terror whistle'. Loomer also falsely claimed that she had 'exclusively obtained' the two video clips she shared. One was copied from a medical aid charity's public Instagram account and the other was from the Houston Chronicle's YouTube channel. After misrepresenting the children, including amputees arriving to get prosthetic legs, as 'Islamic invaders from an Islamic terror hot zone', Loomer demanded to know 'who at the US State Department under @marcorubio signed off on the visas for Palestinians from a HAMAS hot zone'. 'Is Rubio even aware of this?' Loomer wrote, in reference to the secretary of state who was at the time in Alaska meeting Vladimir Putin. 'Why would anyone at the State Department give visas to individuals who live in Gaza, which is run by HAMAS?' Loomer wrote, before falsely stating that '95% of GAZANS voted for HAMAS.' In fact, Hamas got 44% of party list votes in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections across Gaza and the West Bank, and lost three of the five districts in Gaza to the secular Fatah party. After the visa program was halted, Loomer declared victory. 'This is fantastic news,' she wrote in response to the state department announcement. 'Hopefully all GAZANS will be added to President Trump's travel ban. There are doctors in other countries. The US is not the world's hospital!' 'If Laura Loomer had been around in 1940, she'd have been trying to prevent Jewish refugees from entering the US,' Paul Graham, co-founder of the Silicon Valley startup incubator Y Combinator, wrote on X after the halt on visas for wounded children was announced. 'You know she would. And if Trump had been president then, she'd have succeeded.'
