  • Sky News host James Macpherson says Israel's foreign minister has "had enough" of Penny Wong. The strained relationship between Israel and Australia has reached new heights following a fiery confrontation between Foreign Minister Penny Wong and her Israeli counterpart.

The article from MSN discusses the tensions between Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong over Australia's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Katz has expressed frustration with Wong's comments, particularly her call for Israel to respect international humanitarian law and her criticism of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Wong has urged for a ceasefire and highlighted the need for humanitarian aid in Gaza, which has led to a diplomatic spat. Katz's reaction stems from his belief that Wong's statements do not adequately acknowledge Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas attacks. This has resulted in a public disagreement, with Katz accusing Wong of not understanding the complexities of the conflict and potentially undermining Israel's security measures.
