Two State Solution? Give me a break, Obama! Give me a break, EU!

 "Let’s be clear about a few things.

Since the Balfour Declaration and the end of the First World War, it has been Arab Palestinian leaders who have rejected a two-state solution on multiple occasions.

And it was Hamas’ barbarity on October 7 which has set back the goal of a two-state solution.

Hamas vowed to repeat their savagery many times over until Israel is annihilated and the Jews of Israel are driven into the sea.

Until Hamas is defeated, a two-state solution isn’t even conceivable because Hamas will always pose an existential threat to Israel.

This reality makes the Foreign Minister’s remarks last night utterly illogical, ill-timed and inappropriate.

For a crass domestic political win, Penny Wong has irreparably damaged our relations with our ally Israel.

An ally who has shared intelligence with us and thwarted terrorist attacks against our own interests, including against members of the Australian Defense Force.

It is the most reckless act of a Foreign Minister I have seen in my 22 years in the Parliament – and it has weakened our international standing"
