Minister says Czech embassy decision will cause other countries to do the same
Environmental Protection Minister Ze’ev Elkin, who also serves as Jerusalem minister, welcomes Czech President Milos Zeman’s announcement today that Prague plans to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“Implementing this announcement will undoubtedly bring other countries to follow the example set by [US] President [Donald] Trump and move their embassies to Jerusalem,” Elkin says in a statement.
He promises his ministry “will do all we can to help” any country that makes the same decision.
