The federal government will harden its language on the Palestinian territories, with Labor to begin officially referring to Israel’s settlements in the West Bank as “illegal” and the territories as “occupied”.

    “Hardening” is a euphemism for ‘acknowledging International law’.

      idk if i would call it a euphemism
      more like the opposite i guess. i think that “hardening” sounds worse than “acknowledging international law”
      also: can i just say that i love the unfiltered suggestions of kbin and lemmy?
