Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at September’s United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday, a move that adds to international pressure on Israel after similar announcements from France, Britain and Canada.

Albanese said recognition will be predicated on commitments Australia received from the Palestinian Authority, including that Hamas would have no involvement in any future state.

Meanwhile, Sydney residents said they were pleased after the announcement to recognize a Palestinian state.

"I would like to say congratulations to Anthony Albanese for choosing to recognize the Palestinian state. I do think that’s the ideal way forward and it will bring peace and I think that’s the only way to find peace in the region and I hope it comes soon," Sydney resident Liz Power said.
