Labor Party Divided on Gaza Resolution | Australia News
Description
At the Labor Party conference, a motion condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank as genocide and war crimes—backed by MP Ed Husic—failed to gain a seconder, sparking controversy. Instead, delegates sided with government policy, highlighted by a symbolic embrace between Jewish MP Josh Burns and Palestinian-Australian MP Basem Abdo. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised their unity, calling for peace and a two-state solution while affirming Australia’s role in promoting harmony. Critics, however, argue the party is under strong executive control, with Husic accusing forces within the party of actively stifling debate and positioning himself defiantly against being sidelined.
