Liberal MP outlines why the Coalition 'couldn't support' a ceasefire in the Middle Ea

Liberal MP Julian Leeser outlines why the Coalition could not agree to Labor's motion marking the anniversary of the October 7 attacks. "The reason that we in the Coalition opposed this motion is that Peter Dutton put forward a motion, a very good motion, a strong motion to the prime minister over the weekend and the prime minister came back with a different form of words … and those words included calling for a ceasefire," Mr Leeser told Sky News host Erin Molan. "There's many reasons why we couldn't support a ceasefire as the Coalition because a ceasefire just allows Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran to regroup. "A ceasefire doesn't guarantee the return of the hostages - a ceasefire doesn't stop those regimes from continuing not to recognise Israel's right to exist."
