Guatemalan president says embassy to stay in Jerusalem
Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales says that his country is committed to keeping its Israeli embassy in Jerusalem, after moving it from Tel Aviv earlier this year.
Walking into his meeting with Netanyahu on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Morales tells Israeli reporters that he will “of course” keep his country’s embassy in Jerusalem.
Guatemala was the first country to follow the US in moving its embassy to Jerusalem.
Paraguay followed suit, but the country’s new president recently said he would relocate the embassy back to Tel Aviv.
