Michael Oren: Paraguay embassy move likely to damage its ties to US

Michael Oren, Israel’s former ambassador to the US, says Paraguay’s decision to move its embassy in Israel from Jerusalem back to Tel Aviv would also affect its diplomatic ties to the US.

“The decision to bring back the Paraguayan embassy to Tel Aviv will certainly harm our bilateral relations, but not only — I assume that the Paraguayan-US relations will be harmed as well,” Oren says.

“The world appreciates countries that stand firm behind bold decisions and not countries that change their mind after a few months,” he adds.
