JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
on Tuesday his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese had forsaken Australia's Jewish community and betrayed Israel, a remark that may
further strain diplomatic ties tested by the war in Gaza.

Netanyahu's comment followed Israel's revocation of the visas of
Australian diplomats to the Palestinian Authority on Monday, after
a decision by Canberra to recognise a Palestinian state and cancel
the visa of an Israeli lawmaker.

"History will remember Albanese for what he is: A weak politician
who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews," Netanyahu said
on the official prime minister's X account in English.

The Israeli lawmaker had been due to meet with Australia's Jewish
community, which has faced a sharp rise in antisemitic attacks
since the beginning of Israel's war with Palestinian militant group
Hamas in Gaza, almost two years ago.

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Monday called Israel's
visa revocation counter-step an "unjustified reaction" and said
Netanyahu's government was increasing Israel's diplomatic isolation.

Israel has been facing mounting international pressure over the
toll its military offensive has taken on the civilian population in
the shattered Gaza Strip.

Albanese said on August 12 that Netanyahu was "in denial" about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
