Australia reverses recognition of WJerusalem as Israeli capital_我的网站

A |     　　明尼阿波利斯联储主席尼尔·卡什卡利（Neel Kashkari）周日表示，美国国债收益率上升并不构成担忧，也不太可能影响货币政策决定。    Canberra, Oct 18 (UNI) Australia has reversed a decision made four years ago to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Canberra's decision in 2018 had undermined peace and put Australia out of step with other nations, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said. She stressed that Australia remained a "steadfast friend" to Israel. Its embassy will stay in Tel Aviv, the BBC reported.

At the time, Scott Morrison had said Australia would recognise West Jerusalem immediately but not move its embassy from Tel Aviv until a peace settlement was achieved. Morrison's government lost power in an election in May this year.

On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Penny Wong called the former government's decision a "cynical play" to win over Jewish voters ahead of an election in Australia.

"I regret that Mr Morrison's decision to play politics resulted in Australia's shifting position, and the distress these shifts have caused to many people in the Australian community who care deeply about this issue," she said.

She reaffirmed the country's "previous and longstanding" position that the status of Jerusalem should be resolved as part of peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian people. "We will not support an approach that undermines this prospect," she said.

The status of Jerusalem is one of the most contested issues between Israel and the Palestinians.

Former US President Donald Trump drew international criticism in 2017 when he reversed decades of American foreign policy by recognising the ancient city as Israel's capital. The US embassy was relocated from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May 2018.

Months later, then Australian Prime Minister Morrison announced his government would follow suit.

Israel regards Jerusalem as its "eternal and undivided" capital, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem - occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war - as the capital of a future state, the BBC said.

The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem has never been recognised internationally, and according to the 1993 Israel-Palestinian peace accords, the final status of Jerusalem is meant to be discussed in the latter stages of peace talks, the BBC added.

UNI ING。不过，美国通胀短期内难以回落至目标水平，而关税和贸易冲突是“罪魁祸首”之一。

C | 2025年，两国商品和服务贸易额达到8800亿美元，加拿大成为美国第二大贸易伙伴，仅次于墨西哥。他还概述了美国当前的经济形势，指出过去五年高企的通货膨胀主要是由供应冲击造成的。

D | 　　“其中一个供应冲击就是贸易和关税冲突。” 他补充道。

E | 　　卡什卡利强调，除了与伊朗的战争等问题（他称这场战争是“通货膨胀的主要驱动因素”，因为能源对美国经济有着广泛的影响）之外，贸易动态也是“另一个需要密切关注的因素”。　　“因此，只要我们能够达到一种新的常态，即贸易动态所处的某种水平，一旦进入这种稳定状态，企业就可以进行调整，通胀的影响就可以逐渐消失。
