Australia’s deputy prime minister criticized calls for a visa ban on Gazan migrants as a disgrace. Richard Marles, the minister for defense, condemned opposition leader Peter Dutton’s proposal, warning it could escalate tensions in the country. Dutton’s suggestion to deny visas to Palestinians fleeing Gaza was met with severe backlash from various political parties, Islamic groups, and independent MPs. Marles emphasized that security checks on migrants from Gaza remain stringent. The debate comes amid heightened security concerns following the official terror alert level increase in the country. Recent data from the Department of Home Affairs revealed a significant number of visas granted to Palestinians since the Gaza conflict began.
