PM Anthony Albanese has announced Australia will formally recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September. The move involves a number of conditions, including not allowing terror group Hamas to play any role in future governance.

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by political expert Josh Roose from Deakin University to unpack what this historic move means for Australia, our alliance with the US and lasting peace in the Middle East.

Headlines: Five Al Jazeera employees have been killed in a targeted Israeli air strike in Gaza, The Guardian says the Labor Government has hired Deloitte to design a plan for universal childcare, and a meteor shower in Victoria.
