Guatemala moving Israeli embassy to Jerusalem

MEXICO CITY - Guatemala will move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, becoming the first country to follow US President Donald Trump's controversial stance to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, according to an announcement by the Central American country's President Jimmy Morales on Sunday.

After speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Morales announced on his Facebook account that one of the most important topics they discussed was the "return of Guatemala's embassy to Jerusalem" from its current location in Tel Aviv.

"I have given instructions to the foreign ministry that it starts the necessary respective coordination to make this happen," Morales said.
