Australian PM stresses backing for two-state solution after Trump floats Gaza takeover
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says his government supports a two-state solution in the Middle East, following US President Donald Trump’s shock announcement of plans to take over the Gaza Strip.
“Australia’s position is the same as it was this morning, as it was last year,” Albanese tells a news conference.
“The Australian government supports on a bipartisan basis, a two-state solution.”
