Australian Foreign Minister Wong emphasized that a secure and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians is possible only with a two-state solution.

Wong pointed out that the Palestinian state should exist alongside the State of Israel, saying, "Today's Knesset vote rejects this reality."

Wong stressed that the international community will continue to seek ways to achieve a two-state solution that serves the interests of both Palestinian and Israeli peoples, stating the following:

"Any alternative is either unacceptable or unachievable. The horrific events of October 7 and thereafter tragically underscore the need to end the cycle of violence. Australia continues to call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, the protection of civilians, and the unimpeded flow of urgently needed humanitarian aid."
