Foreign minister says only a credible path to a Palestinian state will prevent the world from confronting the same situation in the future

Josh Hazlewood took three wickets as Australia beat world champions England by 19 runs to win the first one-day international at Old Trafford on Friday.
Hazlewood struck twice early on during a miserly haul of 3-26 from his full 10 overs as Australia defeated arch-rivals England for just the third time in 14 ODIs.
England, chasing 295 for victory, were a mere 22-2 off their first 10 overs.
And they were 57-4 when leg-spinner Adam Zampa struck twice in quick succession on his way to 4-55.
But Sam Billings, one of just two members of the England side who didn't play in last year's World Cup final, hit 118 -- his maiden ODI hundred -- after sharing a fifth-wicket stand of 113 with Jonny Bairstow (84) that gave England hope of an unlikely win.
Earlier Australia, in their first match at this level against England since a World Cup semi-final loss last year, made 294-9.
They were in trouble at 123-5 before a sixth-wicket stand of 126 between all-rounders Glenn Maxwell (77) and Mitchell Marsh (73) gave their bowlers enough runs to defend as they went 1-0 up in a three-match series.
England opener Jason Roy, fit again following a side injury, was brilliantly caught and bowled one-handed by Hazlewood for three before the fast bowler had Test captain Joe Root caught behind for one.
Zampa then got in on the act, removing England captain Eoin Morgan (23) and dangerman Jos Buttler in quick succession, the latter to a fine running catch by Marnus Labuschagne.
