Israeli PM slams Australian premier Anthony Albanese for ‘appeasement' of terrorists, calls him a ‘weak leader'
Jerusalem, Aug 21 (UNI) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, attacking his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese for his decision to formally recognise Palestine, slammed Canberra's 'appeasement' of terror groups and their supporters in the West. Vowing to continue with the military offensive launched in Gaza, the Israeli premier maintained that he will press on with the current course of action, and occupy Gaza militarily, regardless of whether Hamas surrenders or agrees to release hostages, reports Times Of Israel. 'We're going to do that anyway. That there was never a question that we're not going to leave Hamas there,' he said, adding that the war 'could end today' if the terror group 'lays down its arms and releases the remaining 50 hostages, at least 20 of which are alive.' 'I'm sure he has a reputable record as a public servant, but I think his record is forever tarnished by the weakness that he showed in the face of these Hamas terrorist monsters,' Netanyahu said of Albanese in an interview with Sky News Australia. 'When the worst terrorist organisation on earth, these savages who murdered women, raped them, beheaded men… when these people congratulate the prime minister of Australia, you know something is wrong.' Netanyahu upped his war of words, stating that the Australian action of recognising Palestine was a betrayal of its ties with Jerusalem, calling Albanese 'a weak politician' on his X on Tuesday. Responding to this on Wednesday, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke retorted that the concept of strength was beyond than simply 'how many people you can blow up or how many children you can leave hungry.' Netanyahu claimed that Israel is 'on the verge of completing this war,' echoing his earlier statements on the war ending. The Israeli premier has been making the same claim since February 2024, first arguing that conquering the southern Gaza city of Rafah would end the intense fighting within weeks, and later claiming in April the very same year that victory in the war was 'a step away.' The Israeli PM's actions to conquer the entire strip – of which it already controls over 75%- has been heavily condemned internationally, and has not been met with unanimous approval either, finding detractors in both the IDF and the political opposition. However, that has barely deterred the premier from his course of action, who labelled Gaza as the home of Hamas, and said that its conquest was imperative to ending the 22-month-long war, comparing it to the Allied Forces' conquest of Berlin.
