Grace Tame apologises for remarks she made about reports of sexual violence carried out by Hamas during the 7 October attacks on Israel. The apology comes months after she publicly dismissed those claims as “propaganda” and said the reports had been “debunked.”

Outlets including PerthNow, 7News Australia, and The West Australian report that the comments were made during or after an ABC interview and later prompted widespread criticism and anger. The Daily Mail also reports on the apology, describing it as a correction to her earlier position.

While the articles vary slightly in timing—some describe nearly seven months and others nearly six—the common thread is that her earlier language led to controversy. All accounts frame the apology as an acknowledgment of harm caused by her earlier remarks and a move to address the impact of dismissing the allegations.
