Netanyahu: Bolsonaro told me embassy will move to Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is telling Jewish leaders in Rio de Janiero that Brazil’s President-elect Jair Bolsonaro promised him moving the country’s embassy to Jerusalem is a question of “when, not if,” according to a participant.
The comments echo those of Bolsonaro’s son Eduardo Bolsonaro to Jared Kushner last month.
Netanyahu met with Bolsonaro on Friday.
Bolsonaro had appeared to waver on the issue in recent weeks under domestic and international pressure after making the promise during his campaign.
He is scheduled to meet with Christian supporters of Israel later Sunday and with Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez Sunday night.
