Foreign diplomats not invited to opening of US embassy in Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA US embassy official says that foreign diplomatic corps have not been invited to the opening ceremony for the new embassy building in Jerusalem on May 14.
“We have invited around 800 guests,” the official says. “These include religious and business leaders, journalists, academics, and government representatives from the United States. We have also invited several Israeli government representatives and political leaders to attend.
“Given that the focus of the event is on US-Israeli relations, we did not extend an invitation to the foreign diplomatic corps,” the official adds.
