ABC slammed for pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel ‘tosh' at taxpayers' expense
'Let me show you some of the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel tosh the ABC delivers at your expense, this is a video post made by their so-called Global Affairs Editor Laura Tingle,' Mr Kenny said.
'This clip is essentially an attempt to explain, justify and advocate for the Albanese government's decision to recognise the non-existent Palestinian state.'

Israeli minister launches settlement plan to ‘bury' Palestinian statehood
Maale Adumim, West Bank/Tel Aviv: Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has announced that work will start on a long-delayed settlement that will divide the West Bank and cut it off from East Jerusalem, a move his office said would 'bury' the idea of a Palestinian state. The Palestinian government, allies and campaign groups condemned the scheme, calling it illegal and saying the fragmentation of territory would rip up peace plans for the region. Standing at the site of the planned settlement in Maale Adumim overnight, Smotrich – a settler himself – said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump had agreed to the revival of the E1 development, though there was no immediate confirmation from either. 'Whoever in the world is trying to recognise a Palestinian state today will receive our answer on the ground. Not with documents nor with decisions or statements, but with facts. Facts of houses, facts of neighbourhoods,' Smotrich said. Asked about the remarks, a US State Department spokesperson said: 'A stable West Bank keeps Israel secure and is in line with this administration's goal to achieve peace in the region,' and referred reporters to Israel's government for further information. The spokesperson said Washington remained primarily focused on ending the war in Gaza. The United Nations urged Israel to reverse its decision to start work on the settlement. 'It would put an end to prospects of a two-state solution,' UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters. 'Settlements go against international law … [and] further entrench the occupation.'

Israel approves new West Bank settlements
The Israeli military has long allowed settlers to take land in the West Bank and to build on it. Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has announced plans to build more than 3,000 new homes in the area, which he says will bury any idea of a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump both approve of this project.
