Honduras president won’t attend Independence Day ceremony

Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez won’t attend Israeli Independence Day celebrations next week, the Foreign Ministry announces.

“The Foreign Ministry regrets his not coming and welcomes the friendship between the two countries,” it says in a statement.

A report earlier today said Hernandez was considering dropping out of the 70th Independence Day activities due to the criticism directed at him and the atmosphere created around his arrival.
