MP also tells Guardian Australia’s Full Story podcast he backs peaceful protests against country’s actions in Gaza

Labor MP Ed Husic has “deep concerns” about the impending visit of Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, saying it is hard to reconcile concepts of social cohesion with the 2023 image of the leader signing an artillery shell about to be dropped on Gaza.
