Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus is preparing to travel to Israel within weeks in a bid to help mend the fractured relationship between the Albanese and Netanyahu governments
Dreyfus, who is Jewish, is one of the strongest supporters of Israel in the Labor caucus and his planned trip would be the first by a government minister since Foreign Minister Penny Wong visited the Middle East almost a year ago
Dreyfus, one of Labor’s most senior ministers, will take a week-long trip after a planned visit last year for the first anniversary of Hamas' 07 October 2023 attack had to be cancelled when Iran launched missile strikes in Israel
Dreyfus is expected to meet with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and other senior officials on the trip, during which he will emphasise the longstanding ties between Australia and Israel Words are cheap
A spokesman for Dreyfus said the trip had not been finalised
