Palestinians slam Guatemala over Jerusalem embassy move
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinians slam Guatemala after President Jimmy Morales announced Sunday his country would move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem in May.
In a statement carried by the official Wafa news agency, the Palestinian Authority calls on Arab and Muslim countries “to take a firm stand against this move, which violates international law and principles as well as United Nations resolutions.”
In December 2017, Morales followed US President Donald Trump and recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. He said Sunday the Guatemalan Embassy will move to Jerusalem two days after the US Embassy does so in May.
