The 11 Days that Made Albanese and Labor Change Their Path on Palestinian Recognition

AUSTRALIA, AUG 11 – Australia joins international efforts by recognizing Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly, responding to public pressure and aligning with countries like France, UK, and Canada.

  • On Monday, August 11, 2025, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, joining other nations.
  • Earlier this month, the Victorian Labor party conference passed resolutions calling for immediate recognition of Palestine and sanctions on Israeli officials, increasing domestic pressure on Albanese.
  • The government tied recognition to Palestinian Authority commitments that Hamas will have no involvement in any future government, reaffirming Israel’s right to exist and pledging reforms.
  • In a statement, Amir Maimon warned that recognition would `not change the reality on the ground` and said it elevates Hamas’s position.
  • Calls are growing for Australia to follow by imposing sanctions on Israel, with at least 90,000 protesters marching and almost 80 Labor branches demanding sanctions by July end.
