Australia has no intention of moving its Tel Aviv embassy despite the United States recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, according to the Australian Associated Press.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told reporters in Canberra on Thursday, "We will not be taking steps to move our embassy in Israel. It will continue to offer diplomatic assistance in Tel Aviv." She also said, "Whereby the Israeli people and the Palestinian people can live in peace side-by-side within internationally-recognised boundaries remains our foreign policy objective."
