Australia: Israel must stop attacking hospitals
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong expressed concern about the horrific number of civilian deaths caused by the Zionist regime's attacks and said: "We call on Israel to stop attacking hospitals in the Gaza Strip, as these sites are protected by international law." "When it comes to hospitals and medical facilities, international humanitarian law requires the protection of hospitals, patients and medical staff," Wong added in an interview on ABC's Insiders program on Sunday. At the same time, Australia's foreign minister, like Israel's Western allies, refused to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. On October 7, 2023, Palestinian resistance forces launched a surprise operation called Al-Aqsa Storm from the Gaza Strip (southern Palestine) against the positions of the occupying Quds Force regime and this regime, in order to take revenge and compensate for its defeat and stop resistance operations, closed all checkpoints points in the Gaza Strip, constantly bombing residential and medical areas of this enclave. Western support for the Zionist regime under the pretext of self-defense effectively became a green light and license for that regime to continue the brutal murder of Palestinian children and women.
