A senior Labor minister has doubled down on his condemnation of Israel as it retaliates following an attack by Hamas on civilians at a festival, amid split loyalties over who’s to blame for the deteriorating war in the Middle East.
Industry and Science Minister Ed Husic said he supported Israel’s right to defend itself against militant groups but affirmed “there’s got to be a better way to target Hamas”, noting Palestinian civilians have been caught up in the attacks.
Industry Minister Ed Husic told Sky News “innocent civilians are paying a horrible price for Hamas’ barbarism” condemning the deaths of thousands of children who have been killed in the conflict. “Rules of international law require that civilians be protected, and there has to be an effort from Israel.”
