Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong has stated that recognizing Palestinian statehood is inevitable, warning that without international action, there may be no Palestine left to recognize. Her remarks followed a large pro-Palestinian rally in Sydney and come as diplomatic efforts intensify, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese speaking to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas about urgent humanitarian aid and a permanent ceasefire. The Australian government has pledged additional aid and continues to seek direct dialogue with Israel, while also imposing sanctions on Israeli officials over actions in disputed territories. The Opposition, however, has cautioned against early recognition of Palestinian statehood, arguing it could undermine efforts to pressure Hamas and affect other global conflicts.
