Media statement: ALP resolution

July 26, 2015

“While there are aspects in the Middle East resolution adopted at the ALP conference today that can be welcomed, its general tenor and threat to support unilateral recognition of a Palestinian State under a future Labor Government are disappointing. This approach is likely to undermine, rather than constructively encourage, progress toward a negotiated, durable two-state resolution that remains the bipartisan consensus in Australia”, commented AIJAC’s national chairman Mark Leibler and executive director Dr Colin Rubenstein.
