Penny Wong calling for a Palestinian state is ‘rewarding Hamas’

Israeli MP Sharren Haskel says Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong calling for a Palestinian state is “rewarding Hamas”. Ms Wong called for a Palestinian state on Tuesday night, stating it is the key to peace in the Middle East. “I’m actually quite shocked,” Ms Haskel said. “Matter of fact this is coming only from a lack of understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a lack of understanding of what is actually happening in the Middle East. “Israel is fighting radical Islam and a declaration like that is actually rewarding terrorism.”
