On Wednesday, Australian Home AffairsMinister Tony Burke dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’sattack on counterpart Anthony Albanese, saying strength is not measured by“killing people.”
Netanyahu had earlier branded Albanese a“weak politician” who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jewishcommunity, after Canberra announced it would recognize a Palestinian state.
Speaking to ABC Radio National, Burkeargued that Albanese showed strength by informing Netanyahu of the decisiondirectly before making it public, allowing objections to be voiced “person toperson," while the Israeli PM “lashed out” at governments recognizingPalestine.
