Last week, Australian attorney general George Brandis sparked Palestinian fury by saying Canberra would **t use such "judgemental language" to describe an area which was the subject of negotiations. Israel hailed the remarks as "refreshing", but the Palestinian leadership de**unced them as "disgraceful and shocking", with the ministry making a formal diplomatic protest on Sunday. "The Palestinian foreign ministry summoned the Australian representative Thomas Wilson over the recent comments by the Australian attorney general asking to stop referring to east Jerusalem as occupied territories," a ministry statement said. Speaking to reporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, foreign minister al-Malki said he was "worried" about the remarks which contravened the position of the international community.
