Best of 2024: What does Australia's shift on Palestinian statehood mean?

We’re bringing you the best episodes of 2024, before we return in early February for the election year. In this episode, which aired last April, we take you to the moment Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong signalled the start of a shift in Australia’s position on the question of Palestinian statehood in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.  Since then, Australia changed its stance, voting for the first time in more than 20 years for a United Nations resolution that demanded Israel end its presence in the occupied Palestinian territories.  We’re releasing this episode, which features foreign affairs correspondent Matthew Knott and chief political correspondent David Crowe, on January 3.  Cut through the noise of federal politics with news, views and expert analysis.
