It has been revealed Foreign Minister Penny Wong will not visit the sites of the October 7 attacks in southern Israel during her tour of the region this week. The move signals a further departure by the government from its Western allies after voting in favour of an immediate ceasefire at the UN in December. The decision is expected to draw anger from Israeli leadership and some in the Australian Jewish community. Ms Wong will also visit Palestinian victims of settler violence in the West Bank during her visit. This comes as calls mount from within Labor to pressure hardline Israeli settlers.

Sky News host Caroline Di Russo says King Frederik X and Queen Mary have a “lot of similarities” to Prince William and Kate. Questions have been raised over whether King Charles would ever abdicate in the future following Queen Margrethe II giving up the throne for her son, the newly crowned King Frederik X. “Well, anything is possible, and I suppose when we look at Charles – talk about an apprenticeship,” Ms Di Russo said. “So he did a hugely long ‘apprenticeship’ as, you know, waiting to take over from his mother – so he has gone into the role older than one would have expected. “70 years of service from Queen Elizabeth II is absolutely extraordinary.”

Sky News host Caroline Di Russo says Queen Margrethe II choosing to abdicate her throne was a “very selfless” act for her son, King Frederik X. Queen Margrethe II was the world’s only reigning queen and the longest-serving current monarch in Europe before her abdication. Crown Prince Frederik X became King of Denmark and head of state in the country as well as in Greenland and the Faroe Islands. “Because, when you think about the amount of work that is involved in being a sovereign, the service to your country, to your community, the patronages, the attending of events, supporting charities,” Ms Di Russo said. “Perhaps she just got to the point where she didn’t feel like she could serve in the way that she wanted to be able to serve her people.”
