- Australian Prime Minister Albanese links recognition to commitments from the Palestinian Authority, including no Hamas role and a ceasefire in Gaza.
- Netanyahu called the recognition effort 'shameful' and warned it would bring war rather than peace, countering Australian government rhetoric.
- Australia's recognition adds international pressure on Israel and the US to seek peace, although criticisms warn it may worsen conflict and alliances.
