Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has warned about Hamas propaganda after his government moved to officially recognise a Palestinian state on Aug. 11.
In response, the terrorist group welcomed the Albanese government’s decision. However, Hamas have now said that its co-founder, Hassan Yousef, who is in prison, could not have made the statement.
