Should Australia back the Egyptian military's crackdown against the muslim brotherhood?

In June 2012 Egypt democratically elected its first head of state, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi's term as President lasted less than one year before he was ousted by the Egyptian military in the spring of 2013. Morsi's supporters have since rebelled against the military sending the country into a state of of near civil war.

Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism. ISIS and terrorist organisations are the issue. Not Muslims

Democracy should be supported, neither religion or military should have power

 @8DML7QDanswered…4yrs4Y

No country should be governed based on religion so the Muslim brotherhood should be stopped

 @8Y63RT5answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organisation!

 @92BY7JVanswered…3yrs3Y

I would need to know more about this

 @8P7J5KDanswered…4yrs4Y

I don’t have enough information

 @99YJYS4answered…2yrs2Y

I don't understand how this is at all relevant to Australian politics. Complex geopolitical issues warrant nuanced and extended discussion, not knee-jerk judgements. Foreign policy is not nearly as relevant as the observable fact that our government is set up not to benefit the people, but to enrich the powerful.

Australia needs to be mindful of what side they are funding either assisting the complete control of Egypt by one governing body or have the country plunge into anarchy

Netanyahu's Ultimatum: Release Hostages Or War Resumes

Netanyahu has issued an ultimatum stating Israel will end the ceasefire and resume fighting in Gaza if Hamas fails to release hostages by Saturday at noon, marking the most serious crisis in the ceasefire agreement since its January signing.Hamas announced an indefinite postponement of the planned release of three hostages, claiming Israel violated the ceasefire terms, though this action would constitute a breach of the existing agreement.President Trump has taken a more aggressive stance, calling for Hamas to release all 76 remaining hostages - a demand that goes beyond the current ceasefire agreement's specifications.Israeli officials have clarified that Netanyahu isn't demanding the release of all hostages, but rather wants to continue implementing the first phase if Hamas releases the three hostages as originally agreed.The current agreement's first phase includes plans to release nine more live hostages and return the remains of eight deceased hostages over the next three weeks.Hamas has responded to Netanyahu's ultimatum by stating they will maintain the ceasefire if Israel upholds its commitments, while accusing Israel of various violations including delayed Palestinian returns to northern Gaza.Israeli negotiating team leaders have advised Netanyahu and other ministers against escalation, suggesting they work with Qatari and Egyptian mediators to resolve the crisis.President Trump has proposed a controversial "Gaza takeover" plan that includes relocating Palestinians, suggesting both Jordan and Egypt should provide land for resettlement.King Abdullah of Jordan announced plans to accept 2,000 Palestinian children for medical treatment, while maintaining opposition to any permanent displacement of Palestinians.Arab nations, including Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, are planning to develop an alternative proposal for Gaza's reconstruction that doesn't involve Palestinian displacement.
