Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has vowed to revoke Australia's recognition of Palestinian statehood, taking the unusual step of writing to US Republicans to flag the Coalition's position.

It came as Anthony Albanese took to the stage at the United Nations General Assembly, where he spoke about Australia's recognition of Palestine and commitment to delivering the two-state solution.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong has accused the Opposition Leader of "going rogue" on foreign policy, while Liberal Senator Dave Sharma has labelled the move "perfectly appropriate". But does the decision undermine the idea of "team Australia"?

Brett Worthington and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.

Editor's note: In this episode we refer to a conversation between Opposition leader Sussan Ley and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. The ABC now understands Israel’s Ambassador reached out to Sussan Ley to organise the call.
