The *Declassified Australia* report reveals the Australian Labor government’s extensive involvement in Israel’s actions against Palestinians. The report uses leaked documents to demonstrate that Australia has provided Israel with significant military and intelligence support, including real-time intelligence sharing and the authorization of weapons exports.
Specifically, the report details the Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD) role in providing intelligence to Israel, potentially contributing to target selection and military operations. It also uncovers the government’s approval of arms exports to Israel, despite concerns about their potential use in human rights violations. Furthermore, the report highlights the close collaboration between Australian and Israeli defense industries, including joint research and development projects.
The investigation exposes the Australian government’s public pronouncements of neutrality or concern are contradicted by its actual actions, which demonstrate a deep level of support for Israel. The report suggests this support has continued despite increasing international criticism of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. It shows this collaboration has spanned multiple Australian administrations, with the current Labor government continuing and deepening the ties. This active collaboration implicates Australia in the consequences of Israel’s military actions.
