Australia stands with Israel. We support Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East,” the Australian prime minister stated.

Australia is not a member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), but if it were, it would not have supported the anti-Israel resolution passed over a week ago, condemning Jewish settlements in eastern Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria as obstacles to peace, the prime minister and foreign minister indicated.

The UNSC vote passed 14-0. In a stunning shift in policy, the US abstained, rather than using its veto to block the resolution.

In a statement released Thursday, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said her country does not support “one-sided resolutions targeting Israel.”

Her government, she said, remains “firmly committed to a two-state solution, where Israel and a Palestinian state exist side by side in peace and security, within internationally recognized borders.”

At a Sydney synagogue, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull also slammed the UNSC resolution, calling it “one-sided” and “deeply unsettling,” the Australian Jewish News reported.

澳大利亚与以色列站在一起。我们支持以色列，中东唯一的民主，“澳大利亚总理说。

澳大利亚不是联合国安理会（联合国安理会）成员，但如果是这样，它不会支持一个星期前通过的反以色列决议，谴责东耶路撒冷，犹太和萨马利亚的犹太定居点是和平的障碍，总理和外长表示。

联合国安理会表决通过14-0。在政策的令人惊叹的转变中，美国弃权，而不是使用否决权阻止决议。

澳大利亚外交部长朱莉·毕晓普在星期四发表的声明中说，她的国家不支持“针对以色列的片面决议”。

她说，她的政府仍然坚定地致力于两国解决方案，以色列和巴勒斯坦国在国际公认的边界内和平与安全地毗邻共存。

在悉尼会堂，总理马尔科姆·特恩布尔也抨击联合国安理会决议，称之为“片面”和“深深不安，”澳大利亚犹太新闻报道。
