Australia has formally recognized Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s “capital”, but said it will not move its embassy from Tel Aviv until a “peace” settlement is reached.
“Australia now recognizes West Jerusalem, being the seat of the Knesset and many of the institutions of government, is the capital of Israel,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Saturday.
“We look forward to moving our embassy to West Jerusalem when practical,” he told reporters in Sydney.
In May, US President Donald Trump sparked international outrage when he relocated the US embassy from Tel Aviv.
Jerusalem al-Quds was occupied by the Tel Aviv regime during the Six-Day War in the 1967, and is deemed the capital of a future Palestinian independent state.
