Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has issued a dire warning, stating that there may soon be 'no Palestine left to recognise' if the international community fails to act decisively in supporting a two-state solution.
Speaking at a diplomatic forum, Wong emphasised the urgency of the situation, highlighting the escalating tensions and diminishing prospects for peace in the region. 'The window for a viable two-state solution is closing rapidly,' she declared.
The Urgent Call for Global Action
Wong stressed that without immediate and coordinated international efforts, the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel could become unattainable. 'This is not just a regional issue—it’s a global responsibility,' she added.
Australia’s Stance on the Conflict
Australia has historically supported a two-state solution, but Wong’s remarks signal a heightened sense of urgency. She called on world leaders to prioritise diplomacy and avoid further destabilisation in the Middle East.
- Key Points:
- The two-state solution is at risk of collapse.
- International intervention is critical to prevent further escalation.
- Australia urges unified global diplomacy.
Wong’s warning comes amid increasing violence and political deadlock in the region, with peace talks stalled for years. Her speech has reignited debates about the role of global powers in mediating the conflict.
