Australia's prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has stated that the country's position on peace in the Middle East remains unchanged, despite Donald Trump's calls for the US to take over and own Gaza. Albanese reiterated Australia's support for a two-state solution in the region, stating that the government's stance has not shifted. Trump made the comments during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and they came after the US withdrew funding from the UN's aid agency for Palestinian refugees. Opposition politicians have also expressed support for a negotiated two-state solution.
