In a strongly worded statement, Albanese highlighted the severity of the humanitarian crisis, directly linking it to Israel's actions. He stated, "Israel's actions are completely unacceptable. It is outrageous that there be a blockade of food and supplies to people who are in need in Gaza." Albanese underscored the seriousness of his concerns by mentioning his recent discussions with Israeli President Herzog, where he made his position clear. The Australian government's response reflects a growing international pressure on Israel to ease the restrictions on Gaza.
