Australia's foreign minister has condemned a senior member of Israel's government for arguing it was "justified and moral" to starve Palestinians until Israeli hostages were released.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich triggered international outrage when he said in a speech that the starvation of the people of Gaza would be justified if it secured the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
In a post on social media platform X, Senator Penny Wong has said "the deliberate starvation of civilians is a war crime" and that there is "no justification for it, ever".
The United Nations spokesman for human rights Jeremy Laurence has also condemned the comments.
"The high commissioner is shocked and appalled by the words of Minister Smotrich, according to whom, letting two million Palestinians in Gaza starved to death could be justified and moral in order to free hostages. He condemns these words in the strongest terms, which also incite hatred against innocent civilians."

Investigators say it's too early to say what might have caused a plane to crash near Sao Paulo in Brazil, killing all 61 people on board.
The head of Brazilian aviation accident investigation centre Cenipa says the plane's so-called "black box" containing voice recordings and flight data had been recovered from the site.
US aviation safety expert Anthony Brickhouse says investigators would now look at things like weather and whether the engines and controls were all functioning properly.
Video shared on social media showed the ATR-72 aircraft spinning out of control before it plunged down behind a cluster of trees near houses.
This witness says the plane crashed in a residential neighbourhood.
"When I heard the sound of the plane falling, I looked out my window at home and saw the moment it crashed, the way it fell. I ran out of the house and went to see where it had fallen and saw it had fallen into the house of a couple of elderly people. We also knew them from church, and so, terrified and not knowing what to do, I jumped over the wall."

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has won a gold medal at the Paris Games, emerging a champion after a tumultuous Olympics run where she endured intense scrutiny in the ring, and online abuse around the world over misconceptions about her gender.
Khelif won the match against China's Yang Liu without losing a single point, giving her country its second gold medal in the competition.
Algerian fan Muhammad Benmira says the boxer is revered for her skill and attitude.
"Imane Khelif, in the first round, she managed to keep the Chinese far away, and then she managed to hit her a few times with uppercuts and hooks. And that's how she managed to win. And frankly, for us, she's a hero, because people treated her like a man, even though she wasn't a man. And frankly, for us, it touched us, all the Algerians, and we're really proud of her. It's a pride."
