The Israeli embassy has criticized Australia's Labor Party's draft platform on the Israel-Gaza conflict, ahead of the party's national conference. The embassy stated that several elements of the draft "risk placing responsibility for the conflict on one party while giving insufficient attention to the decisions, conduct and continuing obligations of the Palestinian leadership and terrorist organisations such as Hamas." The draft platform reaffirms support for a two-state solution, condemns terrorism, and opposes the annexation of Palestinian territory, urging Israel to end illegal settlement activity and occupation. It also acknowledges ICJ findings on Israel's obligations as an occupying power. The embassy encouraged all political parties to focus on "promoting the conditions that history demonstrates are essential for lasting peace" rather than assigning blame.
