Australia Contemplates Moving its Embassy to Jerusalem

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that he will consider moving the Australian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, as part of his pro-U.S foreign policy. Political opponents of the Australian Prime minister said that Mr. Morrison’s comments were a ‘deceitful’ ploy for votes ahead of an upcoming election.

The U.S president caused an international crisis last year when he announced that he will be moving the U.S embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, by recognizing it as Israel’s capital.
