Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese has announced that Australia intends to recognise Palestinian statehood at the UN general assembly in September. ‘A two-state solution is humanity’s best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza’, Albanese said. The Labor leader said the recognition will be predicated on the commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority. It comes after France, the UK and Canada have all announced their own intentions to recognise the state of Palestine with varying caveats.
