World leaders accused of complicity in Gaza atrocities

Published
Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, has accused world leaders of being complict in atrocities against civilians in Gaza. MSF says their vehicles have been targeted and deliberately destroyed by Israeli forces and military vehicles. The aid charity says the humanitarian situation is unlike anything it has experienced in other wars. SBS sought a response from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to MSF's accusations that world leaders, including in Australia, have been complicit either by funding or providing Israel with weapons. In a statement, DFAT says Australia has not supplied weapons to Israel since the conflict began, and for at least the past five years.

In the burning poster, text is partially visible, including the word “TERRORIST.“ On the right, a large Iranian flag flies prominently on a flagpole overlooking a dense, hazy urban cityscape with light-colored buildings stretching toward distant mountains. The two sides of the image are stylistically distinct, contrasting the political alliance of the leaders with the regional opposition and the landscape of Iran.
