Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has lashed out at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, accusing him of betraying Israel and abandoning Australia’s Jews.
The extraordinary outburst follows Israel revoking the visas of Australian diplomats to the Palestinian Authority in retaliation for the Albanese government announcing it will recognise a Palestinian state and also banning a visit by a right-wing Israeli parliamentarian.
In a post on X Netanyahu said, “History will remember Albanese for what he is: A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews.”
