Opposition accuses Australian government of compromising support for Israel at UN
The Australian federal opposition has accused the government of compromising its support for Israel by backing a UN resolution that calls for Israel to withdraw from Gaza. This decision comes ahead of an upcoming federal election. Opposition leader Peter Dutton claims the government is prioritizing votes over the Jewish community's interests. However, some community members argue that the government's stance aligns with its long-standing policy supporting a two-state solution. The government faces backlash from both Jewish and Muslim communities regarding its position. While some believe the UN vote may help Labor in Muslim-majority areas, others feel more concrete actions are needed to address community concerns.
