Australia’s recognition that Israel capital is West Jerusalem stirred controversy from around the world
News24xx.com - Prime Minister Scott Morrison stated that Australia officially recognized West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. "Australia now recognizes West Jerusalem, which is the center of the Knesset and many other government institutions, becoming the capital of Israel" Morrison said on Saturday, December 15th 2018.

However, Morrison said that Australia would not move its embassy office from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. "We will move our embassy to West Jerusalem when it's possible" he said.
Morrison has expressed his country's consideration for the relocation of this embassy since last October. At that time, Morrison said that this consideration arose because the peace process between Israel and Palestine was never over because the two countries were fighting over East Jerusalem as their future capital.

This statement from Morrison drew criticism from various parties, including Indonesia. As a supporter of Palestine, Indonesia strongly opposed Australia’s plan because it was considered increasingly threatening the prospect of Israeli-Palestinian peace.
In addition, Jakarta assessed that the controversial steps inspired by the United States violated international law. Shortly after Morrison's controversial plan was announced, Indonesia immediately issued a condemnation statement to summon the Australian ambassador in Jakarta.
