Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu labels Australia's Prime Minister as a "feeble politican" who has dishonored Israel.

In a statement posted on his official X account on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese for recognizing a Palestinian state. Netanyahu accused Albanese of being a "weak politician" and a betrayer of Israel, stating that his decision weakens the alliance between the two countries and threatens the security of both Israel and Australia.

The statement further emphasized that Albanese's decision is a betrayal of the shared values and principles that underpin the relationship between Israel and Australia. It warned that Albanese's decision could embolden extremist elements in the region, leading to increased instability and violence. The statement also accused Albanese of ignoring the historical bond between Australia and Israel.

Netanyahu's criticism comes after Albanese announced that Australia would officially recognize a Palestinian state at the upcoming UN General Assembly. The Australian leader emphasized Australia's support for a two-state solution and peace, contingent on commitments from the Palestinian Authority to exclude Hamas, demilitarize Gaza, hold elections, and recognize Israel's right to exist.

The row between the two countries started after Australia's decision to recognize a Palestinian state. Netanyahu's statement concluded by stating that Albanese's decision will not be forgotten, and history will judge him harshly for his actions. It also highlighted that Albanese's decision undermines the international community's efforts to promote peace and stability in the Middle East.

In a separate statement, Netanyahu also accused Albanese of abandoning Australia's Jews, adding that history will remember Albanese for what he is: A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews. However, the statement does not provide any specific details about possible repercussions or actions that Israel may take in response to Australia's decision.

This ongoing row between Israel and Australia is part of a larger issue concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has been a source of tension for many years. As the situation continues to develop, both countries will likely need to address their differences and work towards a solution that promotes peace and stability in the region.
