Australia has reversed a previous government’s recognition of west Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the foreign minister said Tuesday, prompting consternation from Israel.
The center-left Labor Party government Cabinet agreed to again recognize Tel Aviv as the capital and reaffirmed that Jerusalem’s status must be resolved in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said.
Australia remained committed to a two-party solution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, and “we will not support an approach that undermines this prospect,” Wong said.
Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid expressed disappointment in Australia’s changed position.
“Jerusalem is the eternal undivided capital of Israel and nothing will change that,” Lapid said in a statement.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry said it will summon the Australian ambassador over the issue. …

Doing the bidding of her Beijing overlords.
Exactly right.
Did they send the message in Mandarin?
How about through Five Eyes?
Wong is so Wong!!!
As an Aussie, the disgust and contempt I feel for this Israel hating lesbia beetch and is sending my blood pressure sky high.
I don’t feel particularly consterned. The country that had never-ending lockdowns won’t recognize our capitol. Oh, nose!

Don’t sweat it. She’s camped by a billabong, and liable to get caught putting a trotter in her knapsack. The swagman haunts obscure bodies of water, an “M” branded on her forehead forevermore. The squatters live on, mounted on their thoroughbreds.

It has changed heaps due to globalisation and mass immigration. The old ocker ways are disappearing. Replaced with metrosexuals ,hipsters, dinks, nimbys.
You are right. Turds in the Liberal party foreign policy cliqe thought all of Jerusalem would be upsetting to certain members of the electorate and the muslim world in general. Bearing in mind that outside of India, Indonesia has the biggest mohemmeddan population
Why do you suspect China? Israel has close relations with China. They do much trade, including in high tech.
This Foreign Policy article is two years old, but should be relevant: Why the U.S. Can’t Get Israel to Break Up With China.
“Israel sees China as an opportunity,” said Michael Oren, a former Israeli ambassador to Washington. “For the United States, China is a threat—a three-pronged threat that’s strategic, commercial, and technological.”
For Israel, the opportunities abound. Chinese construction companies are expected to bid on upcoming infrastructure projects in Israel ranging from light rail to 5G telecommunications networks. And the Chinese are expected to invest billions of dollars in Israeli technology ventures in the coming years.
Already, Shanghai International Port Group is building a new container port in Haifa, which some U.S. officials believe could be used to conduct surveillance on the U.S. 6th Fleet whenever it ports at a nearby Navy base.
Chinese companies are building another Israeli port in Ashdod and a light rail project through the greater Tel Aviv area, which will run a few hundred yards from the Israeli military headquarters. Meanwhile, Chinese companies invested some $400 million in Israeli start-ups in 2018 and $243 million in 2019, according to IVC Data and Insights.
Bearing in mind that the current globalist orientated government is beholden to the inner city greens and chardonnay socialists. The greens are vociferous anti Israel zeolots. Greens around the world are similar. You may or not recall, the German green party saying Jerusalem deserved Saddam’s scuds. The greens, in my opinion, will form the nucleus of a new, white collar, urbanised nazi movement, in all but name
