Penny Wong says two-state solution ‘only hope’ for peace

There's fierce debate about Australia’s middle east policy after the foreign minister signalled the government might be willing to recognise Palestinian statehood even if negotiations with Israel remain bogged down. Penny Wong says it's critical for the international community to look at ways to help bring about a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine. But the Opposition says that the Foreign Minister risks rewarding Hamas in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attacks.
