My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Marles. It's been more than two years since the International Court of Justice confirmed that Israel's occupation of Palestine is illegal under international law. The government has acknowledged Israel's actions are extinguishing the possibility of a two-state solution. The Prime Minister has just confirmed this. Twelve countries have announced sanctions in the hopes of saving the two-state solution. Minister, what will it take for Australia to join our allies?
