Mr Dutton says the Albanese government should pressure the court “to make sure that they reverse this terrible decision”.

The opposition leader says a coalition government could cut ties with the court if it failed to bow to pressure.

“I don’t rule it out,” he said on Wednesday.

“But I think the pressure at the moment needs to be for like-minded countries that share our values, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder … to make sure that this anti-Semitic stance that they’ve taken does not advance.”

Only a handful of state parties have withdrawn from the court and two of those countries rescinded their withdrawal before it came into effect.

    Definitely. The pressure should be on Australia to join Ireland, Norway and Spain.
