Australia is ready to follow U.S. President Donald Trump and recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s official capital and move its embassy there.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison expected to announce the historic change Saturday in the face of widespread opposition from the Muslim world.
AFP reports Australian holiday makers heading for nearby Muslim-majority Indonesia have been warned of a possible backlash after the announcement is made and they should “exercise a high degree of caution” while Arab nations are talking of a financial sanctions against Australia.
Mr. Morrison will argue Israel has the right to choose its own capital and peace talks are dead in the water, so there is no real peace to threaten if Australia moves its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
