Australia 'worried unilateral action' on Jerusalem could add to tensions

Australia's foreign minister said Thursday she is concerned that the US decision to move its Israel embassy to Jerusalem will increase tensions with the Palestinians.

 

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation she's "concerned by any unilateral action by either side which could add to tensions."

 

"The Australian government remains committed and optimistic that the way to achieve enduring peace between the Israelis and Palestinians is a negotiated two-state solution," she added.

  

She also said Australia doesn't intend to shift its embassy from Tel Aviv.
