This is the best summary I could come up with:
The health ministry in Gaza estimates almost 9,800 Palestinians — including at least 4,000 children — have been killed in Israeli strikes in the current conflict.
Last month, Australia abstained from voting in the UN General Assembly on a call for an immediate humanitarian truce between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza.
Senator Faruqi said the Labor government would be remembered as "warmongers" and that history would judge the party for staying "silent and complicit in the massacre of Palestinians".
Acting government Senate leader Don Farrell criticised the Greens for their walkout in solidarity with Palestinians.
"I don't think any particular political party seeking to make hay out of this terrible situation is going to advance the position in Australia," he said.
Senator Faruqi said it was disgraceful to frame calls for a ceasefire and stop to the siege in Gaza as a political play.
