Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made this announcement on Monday (11 August) to speed up a two-state solution.

'A two-state solution is humanity's best hope of breaking the vicious cycle of violence in the Middle East, and of ending the conflict, suffering and famine in Gaza,' he said at a press conference.

He announced after a cabinet meeting and said that recognition was conditional on commitments received by Australia from the Palestinian Authority, including the assurance that Hamas would not play any role in a future Palestinian state.

He also said that he had told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a conversation on Thursday that a political, not military, solution was needed.

Resolution 1325 recognised that women must be included in peace processes, and that conflict affects women and girls differently. Over the years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has produced an extensive body of rhetoric: national action plans, reporting frameworks, new Security Council resolutions and regular open debates.
