ABC News Australia: Labor reverses decision to recognise West Jerusalem as Israel capital 

Israel's government has criticised Australia's decision to withdraw recognition of West Jerusalem as the country's capital, summoning Australia's ambassador to lodge a complaint and suggesting the federal government's announcement was rushed and unprofessional. 

Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Tuesday morning that the government would reverse the former Coalition government's decision to recognise West Jerusalem, calling it a "cynical" ploy to win electoral support.
