The Greens will move a motion in the Senate calling on the federal government to rescind its invitation to Israeli president Isaac Herzog to visit Australia.
The party will seek a suspension of standing orders to force a vote urging the government to revoke the invitation.
The motion is unlikely to pass, with Labor and the Coalition not expected to support it.
The Greens say they are acting in response to concerns raised by members of the public and protest groups about social cohesion.
They also point to a September 2025 report by a United Nations commission of inquiry, which concluded Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.
The commission, which does not speak on behalf of the United Nations, stated Herzog, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant had “incited the commission of genocide”.
Herzog and the Israeli government have strongly rejected the report.
Israel’s foreign ministry has previously described the findings as “distorted and false”, claiming they rely on “Hamas falsehoods”.
Herzog was invited to Australia following the Bondi terror shooting that killed 15 people at a Hanukah festival.
Prime minister Anthony Albanese has defended the invitation and said he looks forward to welcoming Herzog to Australia.
