Penny Wong digs into Scott Morrison in Israel announcement

Foreign Minister Penny Wong criticized former Prime Minister Scott Morrison for attempting to “play politics” and overturned the previous government’s recognition of West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

She said the Australian embassy “was and remains” in Tel Aviv, and Australia continues to work on a two-state solution.

“Mr Morrison’s decision to enter politics has changed Australia’s position,” Wong told a news conference.

“I know this is causing conflict and distress in certain parts of the Australian community, and today the government is working to resolve it.”
