‘Absolute disgrace’: Penny Wong under fire over failing to name Israel’s capital

Sky News host Rowan Dean slams Foreign Minister Penny Wong for “embarrassing Australia” after refusing to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. “Jerusalem is the capital of Israel going back over 3,000 years,” Mr Dean told Sky News host James Macpherson. “Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel; it deserves to be recognised by our government as such. “The absolute disgrace of someone like Penny Wong who has already shown herself to be … our worst ever foreign minister, completely hopeless.”
