Australia Mulls Palestinian State Recognition
Australia is thinking about saying that Palestine is a real country, like other countries such as France and Canada have done.
This means Australia would officially recognize Palestine's right to exist.
It might happen soon, perhaps as early as next week.
However, Israel isn't happy about this, as they think it will help Hamas.
Australia's leader, Albanese, wants both Israel and Palestine to have their own safe countries.
Australia plans to recognize a Palestinian state.
The decision could be made as early as Monday.
This follows similar moves by other nations like France and Canada.
Israel opposes the recognition, viewing it as a reward for Hamas.
Australian PM Albanese supports a two-state solution.
