Australia Recognizes Palestine Amid Gaza Crisis

Published on 8.11.25

Australia is set to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state, following similar moves by France, Britain, and Canada, under conditions that include no role for Hamas in government, demilitarization of Gaza, and holding elections. The move aims to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and comes amid growing criticism of Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu's plans for a new military offensive in Gaza.
