Australia and Israel, once staunch allies, have seen an erosion of their relations over the course of the war in the Gaza Strip. Australia’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state came after the government sensed a major shift in the domestic mood over the war in Gaza,

This move comes amid international concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where many residents are displaced and facing famine.

Foreign ministers from European countries, Australia and Britain on Friday jointly condemned Israel's plans to construct a settlement east of Jerusalem.

A widely condemned Israeli settlement plan that would cut across land that the Palestinians seek for a state received final approval on Wednesday.

A controversial Israeli settlement plan that would effectively split the West Bank in two is gaining momentum after a key government committee -- the Higher Planning Committee of the Civil Administration under the Defense Ministry -- gave its approval.

Israeli leader claims Australian prime minister’s legacy ‘tarnished’ by decision to recognise a Palestinian state.

Israel's prime minister has accused his Australian counterpart of having "betrayed Israel" and "abandoned" Australia's Jewish community, after days of growing strain between the two countries. Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that history would remember Anthony Albanese "for what he is: a weak politician".
