The foreign minister has faced pressure from both sides of politics over Australia's stance on Israel's war against Hamas.
As parliament resumed on Tuesday, Penny Wong was caught in the middle of calls from the Greens, who wanted her to take a stronger stance in support of Palestine, and the opposition, who urged her to object to an international court's ruling.
The Greens moved an urgency motion in the Senate calling on the government to publicly support and formally intervene in the genocide case brought before the International Court of Justice by South Africa.
