Australia's recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was quietly thrown by the labor force four years after former Prime Minister Scott Morrison made a controversial movement. Lock Points: Labor promised to recognize West Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel when elected. When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce were elected, he promised to revers the recognition of West Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade quietly deleted online references for the decision that the Israeli Embassy in Canberra has not been commenting with so far. The Morrison government also thought of shifting the main diplomatic presence of Australia from Tel Aviv, but instead settled in the "balanced" position to recognize West Jerusalem as the capital. If the worker was elected to the task, he promised to reversed the movement, and recently the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) erased online references to the decision without fantasy. Until recently, the DFAT website has officially announced: "In this December 2018, Australia recognized the West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as the capital of Israel in December 2018. . "Australia is looking forward to the fact that it is practically to support the ultimate status of a two -state solution to the West Jerusalem to support the final status of a two -state solution."

"The Australian government continues to consider the final status of Jerusalem as a part of any peace negotiation," the Foreign Minister Penny Wong Spokesperson. " "Australia continues to be a long -lasting friend and Israel's strong supporter." Mr Morrison spokesman described Labour's decision on the Israeli capital as "disappointing". Many countries believe that an Israeli capital in West Jerusalem and the Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem will be a logical result, but the possibility of such an agreement has recently disappeared. The Palestinian defenders applauded the decision of the Labor Party's decision to hold the pre -election hostage, but the Israeli Embassy in Canberra has never commented. "Arab-British understanding Council Director Chris Doyle," the new Australian government of the West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel to recognize the reckless decision to reversed, "he wrote. The Middle East commentator is vital to protecting the international consciousness and negotiating Jerusalem. "
