Israel’s Gaza military operations are triggering a growing diplomatic backlash, with Australia and New Zealand signaling plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the UN this September. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the move aligns with global momentum for a two-state solution, joined by more than 15 nations including France, the UK, and Canada. Albanese and New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters have also criticized Israel’s defiance of international law, warning that Gaza’s situation has reached catastrophic levels.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take “immediate” steps to topple the Palestinian Authority (PA). In a fiery statement, Ben Gvir said this was the only suitable response to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s reported plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state during the UN General Assembly in September. He labeled Abbas a “terrorist” and the PA a “terror authority,” demanding its dismantling without delay.
His comments follow reports from Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that Abbas is preparing a bold diplomatic move as several nations prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood during the UN gathering in New York. The push comes amid escalating tensions in the region, as far-right Israeli leaders push for aggressive measures against Palestinian political leadership. Netanyahu has yet to respond publicly, but the call adds pressure on Israel’s cabinet to take a definitive stance ahead of the high-profile international event.

Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney urges Sir Keir Starmer to recognise the Palestinian state now to “protect the Palestinian people and to give them rights in a situation where their rights are being completely and utterly steamrollered by the Israeli government.” Report by Gluszczykm.

Hamas has fiercely condemned Israel’s limited humanitarian airdrops in Gaza, branding them a “deceptive” ploy to manage — not end — starvation in the besieged enclave. The Palestinian group accused Tel Aviv of using such aid theatrics to mask ongoing war crimes, including the blockade that has led to over 122 starvation deaths — 83 of them children. As the food crisis deepens, with over 100,000 children at risk, Gaza’s Government Media Office has warned of a catastrophic famine.
Meanwhile, therapeutic food supplies are almost exhausted, threatening thousands more. Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declared the Israeli siege in violation of international law. At least 11 displaced people were injured after aid parcels fell on tents. Since October 7, 2023, over 59,733 Palestinians — mostly women and children — have been killed in Gaza, with 144,477 injured. The siege, starvation, and blockade continue — and so does the international outcry.

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state — calling it a “pure prize for terror” and a “gift to Hamas.” Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as “immoral” and “politically foolish,” warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence.
The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As September’s U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point.
