Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent on Australia moving to recognise a Palestinian state - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September.

It will join other countries like Germany, France and the UK.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he wants a two state solution that recognises Israel and Palestine's right to exist. 

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says it's likely Australians will be mixed about this statement.
