The federal government will harden its language on the Palestinian territories, with Labor to begin officially referring to Israel’s settlements in the West Bank as “illegal” and the territories as “occupied”.
“Hardening” is a euphemism for ‘acknowledging International law’.

And now they got support from current Israel government.
Hasn’t that always been the case to some degree?
