This marks the first time Australia, traditionally a strong Israel supporter, has directly opposed Netanyahu's military plans while simultaneously advocating Palestinian statehood recognition. The timing is significant as it comes after Netanyahu's unprecedented public declaration to Fox News about taking complete military control of Gaza, rather than partial security measures.

📰 What Happened
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong issued a statement on August 8, 2025, urging Israel not to pursue military control of Gaza after PM Netanyahu announced plans to take over Gaza City. Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel intends to control Gaza militarily before transferring authority to unnamed Arab forces. Wong emphasized that forced displacement violates international law and reiterated calls for a ceasefire, hostage return, and commitment to a two-state solution.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The push for a 'peace and security' solution involving Arab forces governing Gaza represents a potential false peace arrangement warned about in Scripture. Netanyahu's specific mention of transferring power to Arab forces, combined with Wong's emphasis on a two-state solution, mirrors prophetic warnings about deceptive peace agreements. The involvement of multiple nations (Australia, UK, Canada, France) pressuring for Palestinian statehood while Israel seeks military control creates the exact conditions described in prophecies about Jerusalem becoming a 'burdensome stone' that draws all nations into conflict.
