Australian PM blames Hamas for Israel's Gaza killings

Australia's prime minister blamed Palestinian group Hamas for the deaths of more than 50 Palestinians, who were killed by Israeli fire during protests along the Gaza border.


Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Melbourne Radio 3AW that Hamas was to blame to encourage Palestinian protesters to provoke the Israeli defense forces.

Turnbull says: "They're pushing people to the border. In that conflict zone, you're basically pushing people into circumstances where they are very likely to be shot at."
