Netanyahu calls Australia PM 'weak politician who betrayed Israel'

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese as a "weak politician" on Tuesday, amid an ongoing row between the two countries after Canberra declared it would recognise a Palestinian state.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

History will remember Albanese for what he is: A weak politician
who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews.
