Australia to weigh recognition of Palestinian state: FM

TEHRAN, Apr. 09 (MNA) – Australia’s foreign minister Penny Wong says Canberra will consider recognition of a Palestinian state.

In a speech on Tuesday evening, Wong backed comments by Britain's foreign minister David Cameron who has said that recognizing a Palestinian state, including at the United Nations, would make the proven failed "two-state solution" irreversible.

Wong said the international community is discussing Palestinian statehood "as a way of building momentum towards a two-state solution".

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit on Sunday called on Australia to recognize East Quds as the capital of a Palestinian state. 

The call came one day after Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison formally recognized West Quds as the capital of the Israeli regime.
