Australia shifts UN voting stance to support two-state solution in Middle East peace process

Australia is set to change its voting stance at the United Nations regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This shift aims to support a resolution that promotes a pathway to a Palestinian state. The UN General Assembly is preparing to vote on three motions related to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Government sources indicate that Australia may align its votes with the goal of advancing a two-state solution. This change follows a year of strained diplomatic relations between Australia and Israel, marked by Australia's previous voting patterns and recent decisions, including not condemning an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
