• Comment made amid an ongoing row between the two countries after Canberra declared it would recognize a Palestinian state

JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese as a “weak politician” on Tuesday, amid an ongoing row between the two countries after Canberra declared it would recognize a Palestinian state.

“History will remember Albanese for what he is: A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews,” read a post on the official X account of Netanyahu’s office.
