Australia announced a plan to recognize a Palestinian kingdom in September after similar moves by the UK, France and Canada.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanis said that the step will take place in the United Nations General Assembly and after receiving commitments from Palestinian Authority.
He said on Monday, “A two-state solution is the best hope of humanity to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to end the struggle, pain and starvation in Gaza.”
Israel, who is increasing pressure to end war in Gaza, has asked a Palestinian state to “reward terrorism”.
According to Hamas-Run’s Health Ministry, since Saturday, five people have died as a result of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza.
It was also said that more than 61,000 people have died as a result of Israel’s military operation since 2023.
Israel launched its aggressive in response to the Hamas -led attack on Southern Israel on 7 October that year, killing around 1,200 people and 251 others were taken hostage.
The Palestinian Authority, which controls parts of Israeli -occupied West Bank, earlier stated that the state’s recognition reflects the increasing support for its people’s self -determination.
Albanis said that his government was decided after receiving commitment to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmood Abbas that Hamas would not play any role in any future state.
He said that his decision came in the last fortnight after a conversation with his counterparts in UK, France, New Zealand and Japan.
