Australia will consider recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moving its embassy there from Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says.
If acted upon, the move would follow a recent policy shift by the US that has drawn criticism internationally.
Mr Morrison said Australia remained committed to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Mr Morrison said he would consult with his cabinet and other nations before making any decisions.
"We are committed to a two-state solution, but frankly, it hasn't been going that well – not a lot of progress has been made," he told reporters on Tuesday.
He said it may be possible for his nation to support a two-state solution and recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital – something that Australia had "to date assumed" was unfeasible.
