Simon Birmingham says Israel isn't engaging in collective punishment of Palestinians.
The decision by Hamas to release an American mother and her 17-year-old daughter has no doubt given other families hope.
The two were among those taken hostage during the brutal terrorist attack in southern Israel two weeks ago.
There’s no sign, however, Israel is about to drop its plans for a ground invasion of Gaza to wipe out Hamas.
The Australian government and the parliament have supported Israel’s right to defend itself.
But there’s growing concern over the number of Palestinian civilians being killed – even before the ground invasion begins.
Two Ministers, Ed Husic and Anne Aly, went beyond the official line, accusing Israel of inflicting collective punishment on the people of Gaza.
David Speers interviews Shadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham about whether the Coalition thinks Husic and Aly have departed too far from the government’s official policy, and what he thinks Australia’s role in the conflict is to come.

Tens of thousands march in pro-Palestina rallies in Australia and across the world.
The streets of Sydney, Brisbane and Perth turned into a sea of green, red, black and white as thousands took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
In Sydney, attendees stretched from the steps of Town Hall along the tram tracks of George Street in the city's centre, chanting "free free Palestine" and "shame shame Albanese".
A number of speakers addressed the crowd including representatives from the Indigenous and Palestinian communities, Jenny Leong from the Greens NSW and Michelle Berkon from Jews Against the Occupation.
The march was given late approval on Friday as NSW Premier Chris Minns promised a "zero tolerance" approach to any violence or hate speech.

Inside Indonesia's nickel boom.
Over the last decade Indonesia has become the largest refiner and miner of nickel in the world, and now the industry is on the brink of a second transformation to meet the demands of the rapidly growing electric vehicle battery industry. The ABC travelled to Sulawesi, to an industrial park spearheading this change to EV battery grade nickel. We spoke to people on the frontline of this industry, including locals from an Indigenous community, industrial park workers, shop keepers, an Australian-owned mine executive, and heard stories of positive and negative impacts the industry has already had on their lives, and what this new phase of Indonesia's nickel industry might mean for their future.

Hamas releases American mother and daughter kidnapped during deadly attack, Israel says.
Hamas has released two US hostages who were kidnapped in its attack on southern Israel on October 7, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office says.
Mother and daughter Judith and Natalie Raanan, who were taken from Nahal Oz kibbutz, near the Gaza border, were on their way to a military base in central Israel, a statement from Mr Netanyahu's office said.
Media reports in the United States said they were from Evanston, a suburb of Chicago.
They were the first hostages to be freed since Hamas gunmen burst into Israel nearly two weeks ago, killing 1,400 people, mainly civilians, and taking about 200 hostages.
