AIJAC expresses concern over politicisation and misrepresentation of International Court of Justice

May 26, 2024 | AIJAC staff

It is in Australia’s national interests that the international judicial system maintains a reputation for impartial justice and forms part of a system that enhances international security and encourages the peaceful settlement of international disputes. The lawfare represented by the South African case against Israel on behalf of Hamas, and the ICJ’s complicity in it, undermines all these paramount interests. It is time that the Australian Government says as much.

AIJAC “profoundly disagrees” with FM Penny Wong’s comments on recognising Palestinian statehood

April 10, 2024 | AIJAC

We profoundly disagree with Senator Wong’s implications in her speech that recognition of Palestinian statehood in the near future could be a ‘way of building momentum towards a two-state solution’ and would also not be a reward for the terrorist massacre of Hamas on October 7.

AIJAC mourns the tragic death of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom

April 3, 2024 | Colin Rubenstein

We welcome Israel’s decision to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation to ascertain exactly what happened and work to ensure it does not happen again. Initial indications are that lack of coordination within a field unit, due to human error, caused this terrible tragedy. We trust Israel will ensure accountability for whoever is responsible for this heartbreaking error and the IDF will draw appropriate operational lessons to ensure such a shocking incident is never repeated.
