TEHRAN, December 15 - While, the UN urges its member states to refrain from moving diplomatic missions to Jerusalem al-Quds until the city’s legal status is settled, Australia recognized West Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli regime.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "Australia now recognizes West Jerusalem, being the seat of the [Israeli legislature] Knesset and many of institutions of the government, is the capital of Israel. West Jerusalem is the capital of Israel … We look forward to moving our embassy to West Jerusalem when practical in support of and after final status determination," Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said during a speech in Sydney as broadcast by the SBS.
The prime minister said that Australia would establish a trade and defense office there.
In May, the United States relocated its embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem prompting the outrage of the Muslim world. Brazil, the Czech Republic, Guatemala and Honduras have also recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
