AMMAN — The Australian government's
announcement regarding its intention to officially resume using the term
"
Occupied Palestinian Territories" in its communications and dealings
related to the Palestinian file has been hailed as an "exemplary"
international political move, according to Abdullah Kanaan, the
Secretary-General of the
Royal Committee for Jerusalem Affairs (RCJA).

Kanaan emphasized that this step reflects
Australia's strong commitment to upholding the rights of the Palestinian people
to their occupied land, the Jordan News Agency, Petra reported. He noted that
it represents a diplomatic implementation of the resolutions established by
international legitimacy concerning the Palestinian issue.
Australia’s declaration aligns with the
global position on the matter
On Sunday, Kanaan stated that Australia's
declaration aligns with the global position on the matter and is consistent
with the Kingdom’s stance. Under the leadership of the Hashemite monarchy,
Jordan has taken on the role of custodianship over Jerusalem's holy Islamic and
Christian sites.
Australia emphasized the importance of a
two-state solution
He further pointed out that the committee
recalls Australia's stance from last October when
Canberra reversed its
previous decision to recognize West Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Instead,
Australia emphasized the importance of a two-state solution and the principle
of negotiations to achieve lasting peace.
A departure from a policy of double standardsDescribing Australia's decision as an
important diplomatic strategy, Kanaan highlighted that it underscores
Canberra's alignment with the
European Union's position and the aspirations of
free people around the world. This also signifies a departure from a policy of
double standards and bias in favor of Israel, in favor of a more
balanced global diplomacy.
