Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply criticized Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, accusing him of betraying Israel and abandoning Australia's Jewish community. The remarks come after Australia revoked the visa of an Israeli lawmaker and announced its intention to recognize a Palestinian state, prompting Israel to cancel the visas of Australian diplomats to the Palestinian Authority. Tensions between the two countries have escalated, with Australia's Foreign Minister calling Israel's response unjustified and warning of increased diplomatic isolation for Israel. The dispute unfolds amid ongoing international scrutiny of Israel's military actions in Gaza and rising antisemitic incidents in Australia.
