澳洲不再承認西耶路撒冷為以色列首都

【縛雞之論】英文拷到 G / D 找中文翻譯
Recognizing the capital of a state seems to be an issue of international law though I am not aware of what it should be.
The recognition of US President Donald Trump on Jerusalem as the legitimate capital of the State of Israel is a too-early and premature move by the former Premier Scott Morrison.

澳洲不再承認西耶路撒冷為以色列首都    一眼看天下 2022102018

澳洲前總理莫里森(Scott Morrison)於2018年12月推翻奉行長達數十年的中東政策，稱澳洲承認西耶路撒冷為以色列首都，但強調不會立即將大使館遷移至該地。澳洲現任政府18日宣布，不再承認西耶路撒冷為以色列首都，並稱以色列和巴勒斯坦人民應透過和平協商方式解決首都地位問題。澳洲外交部長黃英賢(Penny Wong)表示，莫里森的政治操弄導致澳洲改變立場，令人相當遺憾。

 

Reversal of recognition of West Jerusalem    ADoFA 20221018

Today the Government has reaffirmed Australia’s previous and longstanding position that Jerusalem is a final status issue that should be resolved as part of any peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian people.

This reverses the Morrison Government’s recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Australia’s embassy has always been, and remains, in Tel Aviv.

Australia is committed to a two-state solution in which Israel and a future Palestinian state coexist, in peace and security, within internationally recognised borders.

We will not support an approach that undermines this prospect.

The Albanese Government recommits Australia to international efforts in the responsible pursuit of progress towards a just and enduring two-state solution.

Australia will always be a steadfast friend of Israel. We were among the first countries to formally recognise Israel under Labor Prime Minister Ben Chifley. This Government will not waver in its support of Israel and the Jewish community in Australia.

We are equally unwavering supporters of the Palestinian people, providing humanitarian support every year since 1951 and advocating for resumed peace negotiations.

I regret that Mr Morrison’s decision to play politics resulted in Australia’s shifting position, and the distress these shifts have caused to many people in the Australian community who care deeply about this issue.
