Australia has voted with more than 150 countries at the United Nations to demand Israel reverse its ban on the Palestinian aid agency, Unrwa, and for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, in a move which could further increase tensions with Israel.
At a UN emergency special session on Thursday, Australia voted with the vast majority of world nations to support the two resolutions, splitting from the US and Israel who voted against them.
