‘Embarrassment’: Sharri Markson slams Labor’s changed stance on Israel

Sky News host Sharri Markson claims the fringes of Labor’s radical left-wing are now determining Australia’s foreign policy as the party hardens its pro-Palestine stance.

The federal Labor government will now call the West Bank and Gaza “occupied” Palestinian territories and say Israeli West Bank settlements are “illegal under international law”.

Ms Markson said the Labor Party has caused Australia “embarrassment on the international stage” and it seems the party don’t care about the Jewish vote.

“This is the first time Australia has had a prime minister who has been categorically a closer friend to the Palestinians than to Israel,” Ms Markson said.
