Following Trump, Guatemala to move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem

Guatemala to move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem
 Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales announced on Sunday that he will move his country's embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.


In a statement on Facebook, Morales said he that the return of the Guatemalan embassy to Jerusalem was one of the most important themes he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked about during a recent conversation and he ordered his Chancellor to begin the process.

Guatemala is the first country to follow Trump's lead on moving embassies to Jerusalem, but the Czech Republic is also considering a move, according to the Guardian.

Morales' announcement comes days after his country was one of only seven nations to vote against a United Nations resolution that urged the UNired States to reverse its decision to move its embassy, the BBC reported.

    "C'est un acte honteux et illégal qui va totalement à l'encontre des sentiments des dirigeants des églises à Jérusalem" et de la récente résolution --non contraignante-- de l'Assemblée générale de l'ONU condamnant la reconnaissance par les Etats-Unis de Jérusalem comme capitale d'Israël, a affirmé le ministère palestinien des Affaires étrangères.
