Australia says Palestinian UN membership bid builds peace momentum
==========
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong stated that Australia's support for a Palestinian bid to become a full United Nations member is part of building momentum to secure peace in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Australia voted with the majority of the UN General Assembly in backing the resolution that would effectively recognize a Palestinian state. The US had previously vetoed a similar recommendation. The General Assembly vote was 143 in favor, nine against (including the US and Israel), and 25 abstaining. Australia's ambassador to the UN, James Larsen, stated that Australia has long been an unwavering supporter of a two-state solution.
