Deputy FM says Israel talking with 10 nations about moving their embassies

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely tells Israel Radio that Israel is in talks with 10 other countries about moving their embassies to Jerusalem.

Hotovely declines to say which states Israel is speaking with concerning such a move.

But she tells the Haaretz daily that Israel is focusing on getting these countries to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as Trump did in his December 6 speech, and not necessarily on having them move their embassies.
