THE recognition of Palestine as a state on March 30 by the Australian Labor Party is a welcome position, though it comes with many caveats.
Pro-Palestinian activists are justified in questioning the sincerity of this stance and whether the party is genuinely prepared to fully adopt this position should it form a government following the 2022 elections.
The language of the amendment regarding the recognition of Palestine is quite indecisive. While it commits the party to recognise Palestine as a state, it “expects that this issue will be an important priority for the next Labor government.”
