Reported at www.abc.net.au: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese declined to comment directly on Donald Trump’s controversial remarks about forcibly relocating Gaza’s population and “leveling” the territory, reiterating Australia’s long-standing support for a two-state solution.

Albanese stated his priority is to address domestic concerns like healthcare and education rather than engage in a “daily commentary” on U.S. statements.

Responses from other Australian officials varied, with some expressing skepticism about Trump’s approach while reaffirming support for a negotiated resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
