Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has intensified his criticism of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following Australia's decision to conditionally recognise a Palestinian state. Netanyahu accused Albanese of showing weakness and claimed his political record was permanently damaged, escalating tensions between the two countries. Albanese responded by downplaying the personal attacks and emphasising respect for international counterparts, while also criticising Netanyahu's stance on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has urged both leaders to resolve their differences through diplomatic channels and avoid inflammatory language. Diplomatic relations have further deteriorated, with both countries revoking visas in response to recent controversies.
