Australia has supported two more pro-Palestine votes in the United Nations General Assembly, further straining the nation’s ties with Israel. Australia voted with 157 other countries to demand “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza” and the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas. It joined 158 other countries to support the second resolution condemning Israel’s ban on UNRWA operating on its territory and demanding the agency be given unhindered access to Gaza to go about its work. The US and Israel were among nine countries to reject both resolutions.
