Israel signals displeasure at Australia's 'mistaken' West Jerusalem move

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel signalled displeasure on Sunday with Australia's recognition of West Jerusalem as its capital, with a confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying it was a mistake to gainsay Israeli control over the whole city.

Israel captured Arab East Jerusalem in a 1967 war and annexed it as its capital in a moved not recognised internationally. Palestinians want East Jerusalem as capital of the state they hope to found in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

A year ago, U.S. President Donald Trump outraged Palestinians by recognising Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, a designation that did not acknowledge their claim on the east of the city though it left open the question of its final borders.

I heard this, the Australians said we recognize "WEST" Jerusalem.

It sounds more like Israel is "mistaken".  Australia agrees with what the US has said:  East Jerusalem will be part of negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Aussie idiots.

Jerusalem is Jerusalem.

It belongs to Israel.

End of story.
