Australia condemns 'slaughter' in Gaza in signing 28-nation statement
www.abc.net.au
The joint statement issued by the signatory countries criticises what they call the "inhumane killing" of Palestinians and condemns the "drip feeding of aid".

“We, the signatories listed below, come together with a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now,” the statement said.

In short:

Australia has joined the United Kingdom, France and other countries in demanding an immediate end to the war in Gaza and for Israel to lift aid restrictions.

Israel says the statement is “disconnected from reality” and is urging countries to instead place pressure on Hamas.

What’s next?

The 25 countries went on to urge other members of the international community to “unite in a common effort to bring this terrible conflict to an end”.

ABC doesn’t seem to have a link to the full statement, but I believe it’s this: https://www.foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny-wong/media-release/joint-statement-behalf-26-partners-occupied-palestinian-territories

This statement has been signed by:

  • The Foreign Ministers of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK
  • The EU Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management

    I hope these 28 countries can remain linked on this and continue pursuing a constant drumbeat of pressure against the Israelis to stop murdering the Palestinian children, mothers and fathers.

    This single statement, while meaningful, is passing and will need reinforcement (in further statements and actions), against such a revanchivist and bigoted State like Israel to elicit meaningful change.
