Australia's reversal on West Jerusalem as Jewish state's capital 'viewed as a blow by the Israelis'

 Australia said it would no longer recognise west Jerusalem as Israel's capital Tuesday, a policy reversal that prompted a curt rebuke from the Jewish state but was cheered by Palestinians. Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the city's status should be decided by Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, unwinding a contentious decision by the previous conservative government. For more on Australia's major foreign policy reversal, and the ensuing diplomatic fallout, FRANCE 24 is joined by Allison Kaplan Sommer, Journalist at Haaretz, host of the Haaretz Weekend podcast and co-host of The Promised Podcast.
