‘March against Israel': Sydney protestors used Harbour Bridge as a ‘symbol of hate'

Australia-US relationship at ‘record low' following ‘concerning' Palestine move
AIJAC Executive Manager Joel Burnie says the Albanese government's decision to recognise a Palestinian state should 'concern' all Australians. 'The relationship between Australia and the United States is at a record low,' Mr Burnie told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. 'This is just one of many issues that have happened over the past couple of months that illustrate that the very important strategic alliance between our two countries has been placed on rocks because of the ill-fated and sometimes confusing approach of this government. 'That should concern all of Australia.'

Australians warned to ‘wake up' as Albanese's Labor government drifts further from US after Palestine recognition decision
Australians have been warned to 'wake up' over the impact the Albanese government's decision to recognise Palestine is having on the US relationship. The decision has sparked a war of words between the Albanese government and the Trump administration, with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee blasting Australia over the decision to recognise the state of Palestine, revealing there was a sentiment of 'disgust' inside the Trump administration over the move. 'I think the timing has been very hurtful to any prospects of negotiating some settlement in Gaza with Hamas. They basically walked away. This is a gift to them, and it's unfortunate,' Mr Huckabee told ABC's 7.30 programme. "There's an enormous level of disappointment and some disgust.' Speaking to Sky News on Friday, former Labor MP Michael Danby said Australia was being led by 'not a normal Labor government'. 'We have a socialist left government … This is not a normal Labour government and they have abandoned our usual procedures,' he told Sky News host Rowan Dean. 'Wong said that she only called Rubio in a perfunctory way the night before they made an announcement. 'How would you not consult the Americans who are actually involved in negotiations for ceasefire, who have all of those forces over there, and consult the French?' Mr Danby said it was a 'ridiculous basis' to decide Australia's foreign policy and warned Australians of a 'fundamental shift'. The former Labor MP said Mr Albanese, Ms Wong, and the rest of the Labor Caucus were 'fundamentally shifting', which the Americans 'sense' was a shift away from a friendly 'pro-US stance' to a 'pro-China worldview'. 'Australians should wake up. This is not a matter of just Israel. This is a fundamental shift in Australian foreign policy, and it's absolutely unjustified,' he said. Responding to the US diplomat's comments on Friday morning, the Prime Minister said Mr Huckabee was an 'ambassador of a country, not Australia, to another country. Not Australia, Israel'. 'My job is to represent Australia's interests and Australians have been disgusted by what they see on their TV every night,' Mr Albanese told ABC Radio Melbourne radio.
