Australia will consider recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moving its embassy there from Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says.
If acted upon, the move would follow a recent policy shift by the US that has drawn criticism internationally.
Mr Morrison said Australia remained committed to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Political opponents said Mr Morrison’s comments were a “deceitful” ploy for votes ahead of a crucial by-election.
