Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja sits down with SBS World News’ Political Correspondent Rayane Tamer to discuss the Gaza conflict and his meeting with Prime Minster Anthony Albanese.
Khawaja suggested sporting bodies should consider banning Israel from world competitions, accusing it of breaching international law in the killing and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
“No country that doesn’t follow international law or humanitarian law, is committing war crimes, should seriously be looked at in their position and their privilege around the world,” he told SBS News.
When asked whether Australia should allow Israel to be represented at the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, he said: “It’s a long way away.”
