Shorten reiterates support for two-state solution

Patricia Karvelas then raises with Bill Shorten what was said on Q+A last night, when Nasser Mashni, the president of the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, argued that hopes for a two-state solution ended years ago".

Oh, no, our policy has been to support a two-state solution.

There was a policy which we developed many, many years ago about respecting the security of Israel and the right of Palestinians to have a say in controlling their own land. I don't think that's a radical policy.

I think it's unexceptional what the foreign minister said. We're in very close step to the United States and other western nations. We've called for humanitarian pause, but we completely recognise that Israel's dealing with Hamas who don't want to negotiate, so the idea that we want an enduring peace, as Penny said, of course, is what we want.

We all know we're a long way off that and Hamas should be prevailed upon by world opinion to hand back the hostages to say that they're going to stop trying to kill Israelis and destroy Israel.
