Eleven Greens senators left the parliamentary chamber in protest of what they allege is the government's inaction over the Hamas-Israel war.
Greens senators have walked out of the Senate to protest what they claim is inaction by Labor and the Coalition over Israel's continued attacks on Gaza. Israel has bombarded Gaza since Hamas' 7 October attack in which more than 1,400 people were killed, according to the Israeli government, and over 200 hostages taken. More than 9,770 people have been killed in Gaza since 7 October, according to the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
The federal government has voiced its support for Israel as it responds to Hamas' 7 October attack , but has said "it matters" how Israel conducts itself, and stressed the obligation to protect civilians. Labor has called for a humanitarian pause so aid can be delivered.
