Good morning, political news enthusiasts!

I am Rudi Maxwell, and I will be providing updates on today’s federal political landscape. This morning, we focus on remarks made by the Foreign Minister, who shared her views during an interview on ABC’s 7.30 program last night. She expressed her belief that a ceasefire in the Middle East should extend to cover Israel’s military actions in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is traveling to Singapore to secure fuel supplies. In conjunction with this, Foreign Minister Penny Wong is addressing the ongoing conflict in Iran, reiterating her stance on the need for a ceasefire in the broader region, including Israel’s involvement in Lebanon.

Stay tuned for all the latest developments in our live blog.
