Liberal MP Dave Sharma says the views Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has been found to have expressed about Israel are “very troubling”.
“They’re obviously quite strongly held and consistently expressed beliefs of Anthony Albanese that all of the fault, if you like, in a Israeli – Palestinian conflict, lies only with one side,” Mr Sharma told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“He continuously describes Israel as the aggressor nation, he continually adopts the Palestinian national narrative about where the fault is in this conflict.
“It’s certainly out of the mainstream view of the traditional Labor Party position on this which has been strong support for Israel.”
