A demilitarized state is a state with zero sovereignty.
This response from PM Albanese is dangerously out of touch with reality.
PM Albanese says a "demilitarised" Palestine may need to be a condition of a two-state solution with Israel
"Those are the sort of issues that need to be on the table" he tells ABC Insiders

Palestinians have been calling apartheid for decades. Now Amnesty joins them, after HRW and B'Tselem.
Governments won't act, so it's up to ordinary people. Boycott apartheid Israel.

Our official new report looks at the decades-long suffering of Palestinians under Israel’s rule. We've concluded that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians throughout Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories amounts to apartheid.
