WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — "Australia will recognize a Palestinian state, Prime Minister #AnthonyAlbanese said Monday, joining the leaders of #France, #Britain and #Canada in signaling they would do so.

"His remarks followed weeks of urging from within his Cabinet and from many in Australia to recognize a Palestinian state and amid growing criticism from officials in his government over suffering in #Gaza, which Albanese on Monday referred to as a 'humanitarian catastrophe.'

"Australia’s government has also criticized plans announced in recent days by Israeli leader #BenjaminNetanyahu for a sweeping new military offensive in Gaza."

In a new piece for @TheAtlantic, U2 frontman and human rights advocate Bono adds his voice to the throng condemning the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Middle East. "Given our own historic experience of oppression and occupation in Ireland, it’s little wonder so many here have campaigned for decades for justice for the Palestinian people," he writes. "There is no justification for the brutality [Netanyahu] and his far-right government have inflicted on the Palestinian people, in Gaza or in the West Bank. And not just since October 7; well before it too — though the level of depravity and lawlessness we are seeing now feels like uncharted territory." [gift link]
