Ed Husic calls for government to warn Australians against Israel military service
Husic, Considering the plan of Netanyahu to take control of the whole Gaza Strip, it is not realistic to expect bilateral citizens to serve in IDF, ”he said.

“We must send a clear message: Please don’t participate,” he said.
“Some bilateral citizens left Australia to join the IDF, who wanted concerns in civil society.”
It is unclear how many Australians served in IDF, but several people said they would travel from Australia to Israel after 7 October Hamas attacks that killed 1200 people in Israel in 2023.
Israel-Avustralia Lior Sivan died in December 2023 as a tank commander in Gaza.
Husic, who disrupts the fact that 63,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza since the war began, said, “Adil will be welcomed by Adil -minded people who believe that we should do our best to end the tragedy we have witnessed for a long time”.
Husic asked Foreign Minister Penny Wong about the legal consequences of the Australians who served in IDF at a worker Caucus meeting on Tuesday.
Wong said that the foreign warrior legislation, which prohibits Australia from entering the war in war zones of Australians, is not valid for bilateral citizens fighting in another country’s army.
Husic said that it is not the most unlikely that Australia’s National University Professor Don Rothwell will be kept responsible for the genocide to serve in IDF when Australians were given genocide.
Australia International Justice Center warned that Australians, who serve in Gaza, have “directly encounter a series of responsibility modes, including direct perpetrators, and to help and support them through logistics, materials or operational support”.
The center asked the government to give Australians more strict guidance to the IDF to serve with IDF.
