Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong’s move to break away from the United States in recognising the “necessity of dismantling (Hezbollah’s) attack infrastructure along the border” was “the most reckless foreign affairs decisions in our generation”, Peter Dutton has said.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has delivered a fiery blow to Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong after the government broke ranks with the United States on Israel dismantling Hezbollah ’s attack infrastructure.Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong ’s move to break away from the United States in recognising the “necessity of dismantling attack infrastructure along the border” was “the most reckless foreign affairs decisions in our generation”, Peter Dutton has said.
“We agreed on the necessity of dismantling attack infrastructure along the border to ensure that Lebanese Hizballah cannot conduct October 7-style attacks on Israel’s northern communities.”Pressed on if the Australian government supported this call, a spokesperson for Ms Wong told SkyNews.com.au: “There must be an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon, rather than the escalation we are seeing. Diplomacy must be prioritised. International law applies to everyone.
“We regard Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation, as we regard Hamas as a terrorist organisation,” the Prime Minister said.
