一 | Canberra, Oct 18 (UNI) Australia has reversed a decision made four years ago to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Canberra's decision in 2018 had undermined peace and put Australia out of step with other nations, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said. She stressed that Australia remained a "steadfast friend" to Israel. Its embassy will stay in Tel Aviv, the BBC reported.
At the time, Scott Morrison had said Australia would recognise West Jerusalem immediately but not move its embassy from Tel Aviv until a peace settlement was achieved. Morrison's government lost power in an election in May this year.
On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Penny Wong called the former government's decision a "cynical play" to win over Jewish voters ahead of an election in Australia.
"I regret that Mr Morrison's decision to play politics resulted in Australia's shifting position, and the distress these shifts have caused to many people in the Australian community who care deeply about this issue," she said.
She reaffirmed the country's "previous and longstanding" position that the status of Jerusalem should be resolved as part of peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian people. "We will not support an approach that undermines this prospect," she said.
The status of Jerusalem is one of the most contested issues between Israel and the Palestinians.
Former US President Donald Trump drew international criticism in 2017 when he reversed decades of American foreign policy by recognising the ancient city as Israel's capital. The US embassy was relocated from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May 2018.
Months later, then Australian Prime Minister Morrison announced his government would follow suit.
Israel regards Jerusalem as its "eternal and undivided" capital, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem - occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war - as the capital of a future state, the BBC said.
The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem has never been recognised internationally, and according to the 1993 Israel-Palestinian peace accords, the final status of Jerusalem is meant to be discussed in the latter stages of peace talks, the BBC added.
UNI ING。 当大多数球员在37岁高龄拿着底薪扮演更衣室领袖时，詹姆斯·哈登却在这个年纪签下了一份3年9700万美元的全额保障合同。
北京时间8月21日，据ESPN名记Shams Charania报道，哈登已与克利夫兰骑士达成续约协议。
这份合同包含2028-29赛季球员选项和15%的交易保证金——全额保障、球员选项、交易保证金，三个关键词足以说明骑士对这位老将的绝对信任。
更令人震撼的是另一组数据：签下这份合同后，哈登的生涯总薪资将达到5.11亿美元，成为NBA历史上第四位突破5亿美元大关的球员。
前三位分别是勒布朗·詹姆斯、凯文·杜兰特和斯蒂芬·库里。
5.11亿是什么概念？这意味着哈登正式踏入NBA最顶级的“5亿美元俱乐部”，与这个时代最伟大的三位球星比肩而立。
然而这个故事最动人的部分，恰恰藏在这组冰冷的数字背后。
今年6月，哈登拒绝执行价值约4230万美元的球员选项，成为自由球员。这不是一时冲动——他主动做出薪资让步，为骑士腾出薪资空间完成后续引援。
整个休赛期，哈登一直处于未签约状态，耐心等待骑士补强。
据消息人士透露，哈登对佩顿·沃特森发挥了重要的招募作用，一直与后者保持积极沟通并推动其加盟。
今年2月交易截止日前，骑士通过交易从快船得到哈登。质疑声铺天盖地——“34岁的老将还能做什么？”
哈登用表现回应了一切：加盟后骑士取得21胜9负的战绩，全明星赛后场均贡献20.5分7.7助攻4.8篮板。在他的助力下，克利夫兰自2018年以来首次打进东部决赛。
二 | 从被快船放弃，到成为骑士复兴的基石——哈登只用了半个赛季。
三 | 哈登将在下周三（8月26日）迎来37岁生日，这份合同堪称一份提前到来的生日大礼。 而当他正式签下合同时，他将成为NBA历史上第二位在37岁或以上年龄签下超过9000万美元全额保障合同的球员——另一位，正是勒布朗·詹姆斯。
四 | 这意味着什么？这意味着在NBA历史上，只有詹姆斯和哈登这两位球员，在37岁的“高龄”依然能让球队毫不犹豫地奉上近亿美元的长期承诺。 进入生涯第18个赛季的哈登，将至少征战至个人第20个赛季。 骑士新赛季预计排出哈登、米切尔、沃特森、莫布利和阿伦的首发阵容——一套足以冲击总冠军的班底。 从俄克拉荷马的超级第六人，到休斯顿的MVP，再到布鲁克林、费城、洛杉矶的颠沛流离，最终在克利夫兰找到归宿。 5.11亿美元，是市场对他的认可。但比金钱更珍贵的，是37岁依然被信任、被需要。当同龄人逐渐淡出舞台，他仍在为总冠军而战。
五 | 五天后，哈登将迎来37岁生日。
六 | 这份9700万的合同，是克利夫兰送给他的生日礼物；而他回馈给这座城市的，是一个老将最后、也最炽热的冠军之心。 老兵不死，只是渐凋零。但哈登说——我还远未到凋零的时候。
