Australia backs UN resolution recognising ‘permanent sovereignty’ of Palestinians in major departure
Vote cast with 158 other countries to recognise ‘permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory’
Kinda neat, a bit weasely in a few places. Our Lords and Masters stance has always been Palestinian sovereignty under a two state, but usually they vote against or abstain from any UN resolution iirc.
Sign that the anglosphere is turning against the USA on this issue?
Hard to know. Maybe it's a tactical move in preparation for the next federal election. Seeing the Dems get obliterated after supporting Israel's slaughter for the past year might have given them food for thought.
Labor is certainly trying to stop the rise of the greens.
