Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the US’s military action in the Middle East over the weekend has been proportionate, and reinforced his support for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
US forces followed up strikes on Syria and Iraq with a new round of attacks against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen on Saturday. A joint statement of support released Sunday from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand backed the strikes on 36 targets across 13 locations in Yemen.
