Australians should be ‘very afraid' of the Treasurer's economic roundtable
Sky News host Steve Price says Australians should all be 'very afraid' of what might come of next month's economic reform roundtable. Australia's ailing productivity will be the subject of the roundtable led by Treasurer Jim Chalmers next month where leaders across business, politics and unions will discuss the nation's poor growth. Economic and productivity reform was a lower priority during the Albanese government's first term, despite slow growth and the country sitting in a per capita recession.

Why France is recognising Palestinian statehood
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced he will recognise Palestinian statehood, drawing angry rebukes from Israel and the United States and opening the door for other major nations to perhaps follow suit. WHAT DID MACRON SAY? Macron published a letter sent to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas confirming France's intention to press ahead with recognition and work to convince other partners to do the same He said he would make a formal announcement at the United Nations General Assembly next month France is now the first major Western country to shift its diplomatic stance on a Palestinian state, after Spain, Ireland and Norway officially recognised one last year WHY IS THIS SIGNIFICANT? The decision to recognise Palestinian statehood is mostly symbolic but it makes Israel appear more isolated on the international stage over the war in Gaza WHY DID MACRON DO THIS? Macron decided to do it ahead of a UN conference co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia on the matter next week to try to sway other countries considering that step, or those that are wavering WHAT IMPACT COULD IT HAVE ON FRENCH TIES WITH ISRAEL Ahead of Macron's announcement, Israeli officials had spent months lobbying to prevent what some had called "a nuclear bomb" for bilateral relations Sources familiar with the matter say Israel's warnings to France had ranged from scaling back intelligence-sharing to complicating Paris' regional initiatives - even hinting at possible annexation of parts of the West Bank WHO COULD BE NEXT? The decision by France, which is home to Europe's largest Jewish and Muslim communities alike, could fuel a movement so far dominated by smaller nations generally more critical of Israel The decision will put pressure on major countries like Britain, Germany, Australia, Canada and Japan to follow suit In the immediate term, Malta and Belgium could be the next countries within the European Union to do so WHO ELSE HAS RECOGNISED PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD? Last year, Ireland, Norway and Spain recognised a Palestinian state with its borders to be demarcated as they were prior to the 1967 Middle East war, when Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem About 144 of the 193 member states of the United Nations recognise Palestine as a state, including most of the global south as well as Russia, China and India Only a handful of the 27 European Union members do so, mostly former Communist countries as well as Sweden and Cyprus The UN General Assembly approved the de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine in November 2012 by upgrading its observer status at the world body to "non-member state" from "entity" HOW DID THE UNITED STATES, ISRAEL, AND PALESTINIANS REACT? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the decision by France, one of Israel's closest allies and a G7 member, saying such a move "rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy" US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States "strongly rejects (Macron's) plan to recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly" "This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace," Rubio posted on X The Palestinian Authority's Vice President Hussein Al Sheikh said Macron's decision reflected "France's commitment to international law and its support for the Palestinian people's rights to self-determination and the establishment of our independent state"

Potential worsening of Australia-Israel relations as Albanese releases statement
Australia and Jewish Affairs Council's Joel Burnie comments on the Australia-Israel relationship, claiming Israel has a 'very close affinity with Australia' despite the Albanese government's recent condemnation. 'The good thing on that front is that the Israelis have had a very close affinity with Australia ever since its establishment,' Mr Burnie told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. 'The relationship between Israel and Australia is far deeper than that; it's a friendship, it's a deep and warm relationship where Israelis love Australians, they love what Australia means to them.'
