‘Weak': Benjamin Netanyahu issues scathing attack on Anthony Albanese

Sky News host Sharri Markson says the shock cancellation of an Israeli politician's visa has today escalated into a major diplomatic row between Israel and Australia. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sensationally called Anthony Albanese a "weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews 'These are words of strength and clarity from Netanyahu who is responding to the relentless aggression from Albanese, Penny Wong and Tony Burke – the pro-Palestinian trio,' Ms Markson said.

More from World Israel's offensive has since killed more than 61,000 Palestinians, plunged Gaza into humanitarian crisis and displaced most its population. The war began when Hamas-led fighters stormed into Israel, killing 1200 people and taking 251 hostages. Israel is demanding the group lay down its arms and its leaders leave Gaza, conditions that Hamas has publicly rejected. But prospects for agreeing an end to the war appear remote, with gaps remaining on the terms. A source close to the talks said that, unlike previous rounds, Hamas accepted the proposal with no further demands. Hamas official Izzat El-Reshiq said the truce proposal it had agreed to was an interim accord that would pave the way for negotiations on ending the war. Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir are calling for Israel to keep the war going until Hamas' defeat, and annex Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to convene discussions about the ceasefire proposal soon, the two Israeli officials said. In Israel, the threatened offensive prompted tens of thousands of Israelis on Sunday to hold some of the largest protests since the war began, urging a deal to end the fighting and free the remaining hostages held in Gaza. Thousands of people are estimated to have fled the area in the past few days. On Friday, it said its forces were operating in nearby Zeitoun to find weapons, tunnels and gunmen. The Israeli military said it was checking the report. Local health authorities said dozens of people had been trapped in their houses because of the shelling. The proposal includes a swap of Palestinian prisoners for living and dead hostages in Gaza. (AP PHOTO) Tanks completed taking control of the Zeitoun suburb, an eastern neighbourhood on Gaza City's outskirts, and continued to pound the nearby area of Sabra, killing two women and a man, medics said. On the ground, there were no signs of a ceasefire nearing as Israeli gunfire, tank shelling and air strikes killed at least 20 Palestinians on Tuesday, according to Gaza health officials. Israel's plans to seize control of Gaza City in the heart of the Palestinian enclave have since stirred alarm abroad and among the estimated one million people living there. Israel had previously agreed to the outline, advanced by US special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, but negotiations faltered over some of its details. The last round of indirect talks between the sides ended in deadlock in July, with the sides trading blame for the collapse. The proposal includes a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces, which at present control 75 per cent of Gaza, and the entry of more humanitarian aid into the enclave, where a population of 2.2 million people is increasingly facing famine. Two Egyptian security sources confirmed the details, and added that Hamas had requested the release of hundreds of Gaza detainees as well. The ceasefire proposal would allow more aid into the Gaza Strip, which faces a humanitarian crisis. (AP PHOTO) The proposal includes the release of 200 Palestinian convicts jailed in Israel and an unspecified number of imprisoned women and minors, in return for 10 living and 18 deceased hostages from Gaza, according to a Hamas official. Efforts to pause the fighting gained new momentum in the past week after Israel announced plans for a new offensive to seize control of Gaza City, and Egypt and Qatar have been pushing to restart indirect talks between the sides on a US-backed ceasefire plan.
