Israel lashes out after Australia, UK, Canada recognise Palestine | ABC NEWS
Palestine has welcomed the UK, Canada and Australia’s recognition of its statehood, while Benjamin Netanyahu vowed there would never be such a state.
The Israeli leader is facing mounting pressure from hard-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir to annex large parts of the West Bank in response.
The Palestinian Authority’s Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian insists the decisions have more than a symbolic value but urges the relevant countries to do more to support the country’s reform process.
