Shane Desiatnik from The Australian Jewish news says "As pressure builds within Labor, there is speculation a backflip is imminent on the government’s suspension of $6 million in UNRWA funding". It comes as Foreign Minister Penny Wong, addressing the humanitarian situation in Gaza, told a business lunch in Sydney on Tuesday that “unless Israel changes its course it will continue to lose support”.
