Australia backs two-state solution in Middle East after Trump's Gaza plan

Australia's position is the same as it was this morning, as it was last year,

Albanese told a news conference

The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,

he said

We've seen in a couple of weeks the kind of leverage the president has all around the world ... President Trump is willing to use that leverage,

Friedman told "Newsline."

This is a time of reckoning for all the countries in the Middle East to understand that this is a collective problem. They have to step in and join the world and the community of nations and solve these problems,

he said
