PM reiterates that Israel’s actions in Gaza are not ‘defendable’
Return to Albanian for a moment. In addition, in the 7.30 of the ABC last night, “People in Gaza, especially in terms of malnutrition and hunger in Gaza,” was too late for children was asked. He said:
These are terrible conditions. And they are completely unfair and cannot be defended. I clarified this directly in my discussions with this President Herzog Israel and I make public comments.
I think the Australians want to see that this never happened, and we’re deeply worried. It was hard for us to get help and it was definitely not enough for the help by Air. To save lives, you need to completely access Gaza to help.
As a result, when Israel was asked to use the hunger as a war weapon, he said:
What I say is that Israel’s actions are not defensive. When we went through a decision in the parliament, we clearly said that Israel has the right to defense itself, but we said how it defended itself and comply with international law.
And when we see the significant loss of innocent life and the deprivation in Gaza, the truth is that Hamas is of course responsible for his actions on October 7, of course, by engaging a terrorist activity, and the Israeli state of course reacted by defending itself. However, the numbers we see with the loss of innocent life and deprivation in Gaza are a human tragedy.
When he was asked if Israel said if he was guilty of a war crime, the Albanian said: “No, there are processes to pass [to make] Such declarations. “

Albania, the stance of change, exactly what should be changed. He replied:
There will be no personal decision, there will be a decision by the Australian government based on the assessment of my cabinet members… Making the declaration will actually make a difference and will be a positive step towards the realization of the two state targets.
