CANBERRA, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has accused his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu of "denying" the suffering of civilians in Gaza.

Speaking a day after Australia announced it would formally recognise a Palestinian state at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in September, Mr Albanese agreed on Tuesday that disappointment with the actions of the Netanyahu government contributed to the historic decision.

On Tuesday, E. Albanese told the Australian broadcaster ABC that he had a telephone conversation with B. Netanyahu on Thursday to inform him of Australia's decision to recognize the State of Palestine.

"He repeated to me again what he had already said publicly, namely, the denial of the consequences that are happening to innocent people," E. Albanese said of the Israeli prime minister's reaction.

Speaking at Parliament House on Monday alongside Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Mr Albanese described his government's decision to recognise Palestine as part of a coordinated global effort to promote the two-state solution. -0-
