Australians have been warned not to import the Israeli–Palestinian conflict Down Under after a Sydney woman was arrested for allegedly burning the Israeli flag during protests - as the United Nations warns the violence in the Middle East could explode into a full-scale war.

The ugly scenes on the streets of the city s south-west saw Prime Minister Scott Morrison caution Australians not to bring the war over here. Of course we are all very concerned about what is happening there, he told Ben Fordham on 2GB.
Biden Fails To Condemn Hamas Terrorist Attacks On Israel
As the radical Islamist group Hamas terrorizes Israel, launching rockets on Jerusalem Day, President Joe Biden did not directly condemn the group Wednesday after a reporter asked him about the ensuing Middle East conflict.
A reporter asked Biden if he is “concerned” about the conflict. Biden said “Israel has a right to defend itself when you have thousands of rockets flying into your territory” but did not go further to call out Hamas as the one doing the terrorizing.
“My national security staff and defense staff has been in constant contact with their counterparts in the Middle East, not just with the Israelis, but also with everyone from the Egyptians, to the Saudis, to the Emirates, etc.,” said Biden. “And I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu not too long ago; I’ll be putting out a statement very shortly on that. My expectation and hope is that this will be closing down sooner than later.”
