As Israel's offensive against Gaza nears 30 days, Australia has urged Benjamin Netanyahu to exercise restraint and protect civilian lives in Gaza.
In an opinion piece published in The Guardian on November 3, 2023, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said it is critical for Israel to listen to its allies and friends, including Australia, to stop the attack on Gaza.
She warned that Israel's own security faces a grave risk if the conflict spreads to neighbouring countries.
A two-state solution is the only way that the Israel-Palestine conflict can be solved, Wong said in the article.
