Netanyahu escalates attack on Australia’s Albanese as Jewish group urges calm
By Renju Jose
Sydney (Reuters) -Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his personal attacks on Australian counterparts of Australian counterparts, his government’s decision to recognize the Palestinian state, said that the political record of Albanian was damaged forever.
Diplomatic ties between Australia and Israel have been due to the fact that Albania’s Central Left Labor Government announced that it would recognize the Palestinian state conditionally after similar movements of France, England and Canada.
The decision encouraged Netanyahu to initiate a personal attack on Albania and doubled his condemnation in an interview in Australia to be published in Australia.
“I think the record is blackened by the weakness it has shown in the face of these Hamas terrorist monsters,” Netanyahu said after describing Arnavenes at the beginning of this week as a weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned the Jews of Australian.
Sky News Australia released comments on Thursday at 20:00 (1000 GMT) before the publication of the full interview.
On Wednesday, Albanian played Netanyahu’s criticisms and said that he did not “personally receive them” and that he was respectful to the leaders of other countries.
Last week, Albanian said that the Israeli Prime Minister was “denial” about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where the UN warned the risk of widespread hunger and international pressure to allow Israel to allow unlimited assistance to the region.
In separate letters sent to both leaders on Wednesday, the Executive Council of the Australian Jews called on the differences through diplomacy rather than public stance.
The letters are writing to express our deep horror and concern in the War of Words’ War recently. ” He said.
“If things need to be said clearly to the public, they should be said using moderate and apparent language in accordance with national leaders. Australia and Israel are mature democracies and their governments must act accordingly.” He said.
This week, Israel canceled the visas of the Australian diplomats to the Palestinian authority after canceling the Israeli deputy on statements that the Albanian government thought it was controversial and inflamed.
Netanyahu is facing a global pressure on Israel’s military attack on the Gaza Strip, which killed at least 60,000 Palestinians according to the Enclave Ministry of Health.
On Wednesday, the Israeli army announced the first steps of an operation to seize Gaza City’s control, and despite the fact that most of Israel’s closest allies called to rethink, he called tens of thousands of reserves.
The attack began after the militants led by Hamas entered Southern Israel in October 2023 and killed 1,200 people and took 251 more hostages. Israel is currently thinking of a new ceasefire offer.
