From Palestinians: FM pushed Paraguay to reverse Jerusalem embassy move
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority foreign ministry says they persuaded newly elected Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benitez to reverse the decision made by his predecessor to move the country’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
A statement carried by the PA’s official outlet Wafa, says Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki met Benitez during his inauguration last month and asked him to return its diplomatic mission to Tel Aviv.
The statement says Benitez agreed, and they decided to keep the decision under wraps until Paraguay was ready to announce the move.
