Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Monday that his country will recognize a Palestinian state in September, joining a growing list of Western allies as international condemnation and anger builds over Israel’s actions in Gaza.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank says it is prepared to yield to demands from countries including Australia to reform its processes and administration, as part of the process to recognise Palestinian statehood.

Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at next month's United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.
