Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar celebrate at the inauguration ceremony of Fiji’s embassy in Jerusalem alongside Fijian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, Sa’ar’s office says in a statement.
“A new embassy in Jerusalem, our eternal capital!,” Sa’ar cheers in the statement.
The three pose for a photo, with Netanyahu and Rabuka sporting salusalu — traditional Fijian garlands.
“I will continue to strengthen Jerusalem’s standing as the capital of Israel. I will also continue working to open and relocate additional embassies to Jerusalem,” Sa’ar says.
Fiji becomes the seventh country to open an embassy in Jerusalem, joining the US, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua New Guinea and Paraguay.
Argentina has also announced plans to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem next year.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
