Australia changes its position to support a UN resolution demanding "Israel bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible".

Australia has voted in favour of a UN resolution demanding Israel rapidly end its occupation of the Palestinian Territories. The vote represents a shift in a longstanding position. Australia abstained on similar resolutions at previous meetings of the General Assembly.
