JERUSALEM, Palestine \u2013 October 18 (ONLINE) The Palestinians have hailed Australia’s decision to reverse its recognition of West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital despite fierce criticism by Israel. <\/p>\n

“We welcome Australia’s decision with regards to Jerusalem & its call for a two-state solution in accordance with international legitimacy,” the Palestinian Authority’s civil affairs minister, Hussein al Sheikh, tweeted on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Sheikh hailed Australia’s “affirmation that the future of sovereignty over Jerusalem depends on the permanent solution based on international legitimacy”. <\/p>\n

Announcing the change of policy by Australia’s centre-left government, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Jerusalem’s status should be decided through peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, and not through unilateral decisions. <\/p>\n

“We will not support an approach that undermines” a two-state solution, she said, adding: “Australia’s embassy has always been, and remains, in Tel Aviv.”<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid described the policy reversal by Australia’s centre-left government as a “hasty response”. <\/p>\n

“Jerusalem is the eternal and united capital of Israel and nothing will ever change that,” Lapid said in a statement released by his office.<\/p>\n

In 2018 a conservative government led by Scott Morrison followed then US president Donald Trump’s lead in naming West Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.<\/p>\n

The move caused a domestic backlash in Australia and caused friction with neighbouring Indonesia \u2013 the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation \u2013 temporarily derailing a free trade deal.<\/p>\n

Israel occupied east Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of 1967 and later annexed it in a move not recognised by most of the international community.<\/p>\n

The city is claimed by both Israelis and Palestinians, and most foreign governments avoid formally declaring it the capital of any state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
