The Green Party's new leader came under pressure Tuesday to sack his deputy for defending Hamas's attack on Israel.
Zack Polanski won a landslide victory on a ticket of 'eco-populism' and a new focus on Left-wing issues such as supporting Palestine.
But his win was quickly overshadowed hours later by the emergence of a video in which his newly elected deputy said all people had a right to 'fight back against occupiers'.
In the footage posted on TikTok on the morning of the attacks, Mothin Ali claimed Israel would use the 'fightback' by Hamas as a 'pretext' to attack Gaza.
Mr Ali also accused Israel of launching an attack on civilians after Hamas terrorists killed more than a thousand people in Israel and took around 200 hostage.
