The @news.abc.net.au rather buries the lead, but gets there just before the end of the piece: “Israel has … launched a ground invasion, capturing dozens of Lebanese villages and towns close to the border. It has left 3,350 people dead in Lebanon and more than 1 million people displaced.”

Defence Minister Richard Marles speaking in Singapore ... Much talk about a rules based order. But it doesn't only apply to the ocean floor. Israel's atrocities very much violate the rules based order, which is mostly ignored by our government. #hypocrisy #genocide #Gaza #Lebanon
