Paraguay confirms embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Paraguay’s Foreign Ministry is confirming that the country will shift its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, following the US and Guatemala.
It says President Horacio Cartes ordered the move, but didn’t specify a date.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said earlier this week that Cartes will attend the opening ceremony, which he said would occur by the end of May. Paraguay didn’t confirm Cartes’ trip.
The US officially opens its embassy in Jerusalem on May 14 followed two days later by Guatemala.
