Israel is facing a perfect storm. Bungled judicial reform has sparked unprecedented internal unrest.
As President Joe Biden garners a reputation throughout the region for throwing allies under the bus, Israel’s external enemies smell blood in the water. In a telephone call with his Iranian counterpart, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared,"The Islamic world should be united against Israel’s attacks in Palestine."His words were in reference to Israeli strikes to take out missile launchers and terror cells.
At the Australian Labour Party National Conference in December 2018, Penny Wong, today Australia’s foreign minister, proposed a resolution calling upon"the next Labor Government to recognize Palestine as a state; and expects that this issue will be an important priority for the next Labor Government." Tony Burke, manager of Government Business in the House, seconded the resolution.
Six months ago, Wong not only reversed Australia’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital but also signaled to Palestinian extremists that even Israeli sovereignty over West Jerusalem — part of Israel since 1949 — could be up for grabs.
Such unilateral action would be more harmful on the world stage, though, as authoritarians like Russian President Vladimir Putin would use the Albanese principles to justify his own unilateral recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk.
