Paraguay will follow the lead of US President Donald Trump and move the country’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May.
The news has not been confirmed by Paraguay’s foreign ministry, which said that a final decision on the move is yet to be made.
Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes said in April he would be willing to move his country’s embassy to Jerusalem. A spokesman for Israel’s foreign ministry, Emmanuel Nahshon, said in a statement that Cartes plans to come to Israel to open the new embassy “by the end of the month.”
Israeli FM says Paraguay will open Jerusalem embassy at end of month. It’s only third country to do so. US to open its embassy on May 14, Guatemala to follow on 16th.
