Israel's foreign affairs minister says the visas of Australia's representatives to the Palestinian Authority have been revoked over the nation's recognition of a Palestinian state and for refusing entry to Israeli figures.
Gideon Sa'ar announced the visa cancellations in a social media post and said he had also instructed the Israeli Embassy in Canberra to carefully examine any official Australian visa application for entry into Israel.
"This follows Australia's decisions to recognise a "Palestinian state" and against the backdrop of Australia's unjustified refusal to grant visas to a number of Israeli figures, including former Minister Ayelet Shaked and the Chairman of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, MK Simcha Rothman," Mr Sa'ar posted on social media platform X on Monday.
