Australian government canceled the decision to recognize Jerusalem the capital of Israel, the newspaper The Guardian said.
A few days ago, two statements deleted from the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Australia. The first stated that in December 2018, Australia, in accordance with a long -standing policy, recognized the West Jerusalem to the capital of Israel. The second statement noted that Australia is looking forward to the transfer of its embassy to West Jerusalem, when it will be practically possible, after determining the final status of a decision on two states.
The decisions were made under the old government. In 2018, the head of the Australian Foreign Ministry Penny Wong said that the Laborists did not support the one -sided recognition of Jerusalem by the capital of Israel, so in the new government this decision will be canceled.
