Australia's Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's criticism of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as 'weak'. Burke argued that strength isn't measured by violence but by diplomatic engagement, citing Albanese's direct communication with Netanyahu before announcing Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state. This follows Australia's cancellation of a visa for an Israeli lawmaker and Israel's subsequent visa revocation of Australian diplomats, escalating tensions between the two countries amidst the Gaza conflict.
