Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Muhammad has flayed Australia for its move to recognize Baitul Maqdas (Occupied Jerusalem) as the capital of Israel.
Australia decided to formally recognize West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, but won’t move its embassy until there is a peace settlement between Israel and Palestinians, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Saturday.
He said in a speech that Australia will recognize East Jerusalem as Palestine’s capital only after a settlement has been reached on a two-state solution. The Australian Embassy won’t be moved from Tel Aviv until such a time, he said.
Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Muhammad while addressing a ceremony in Thailand said that Australia has no right to divide the occupied Baitul Maqdas (Occupied Jerusalem).
Australia has no right to divide Baitul Maqdas and it has always been Palestinian’s.
Australia has no relations whatsoever with Baitul Maqdas, the veteran Malaysian leader said while addressing a ceremony to award him honorary PhD degree by Thailand’s Rangsit University (RUS).
