The Jewish community has backed Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s comments regarding visa approvals for Palestinians, questioning whether Labor’s actions are politically motivated.

The Australian Jewish Association (AJA) has speculated that the move, which Dutton has termed “unprecedented,” may be an attempt by Labor to recoup votes in Western Sydney amid a push for a Muslim voting bloc.
