FARUQI () (): My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Minister, for almost nine long months now we have witnessed Israel's full-blown genocide in Gaza, during which Israel has ruthlessly massacred close to 40,000 Palestinians, including around 15,000 Palestinian children. Israel has relentlessly bombed schools, hospitals, ambulances, universities, places of worship and even the tents where forcibly displaced Palestinians are taking refuge. Many thousands of Palestinians are missing or buried under the rubble. This year alone your government has imposed autonomous sanctions on Russia, Iran and Myanmar, and yesterday the Labor leadership shamefully sanctioned Senator Payman. When will you sanction Israel and the extreme Netanyahu government?
