Guatemala to move its embassy to Jerusalem

Guatemala’s president Jimmy Morales announced the Central American country will move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, becoming the first nation to follow the lead of President Trump in ordering the change. Guatemala was one of nine nations that voted with the United States and Israel on Thursday when the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a nonbinding resolution denouncing Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. President Morales has informed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of his instruction to Guatemala’s foreign ministry to make it possible.

    Gracias mi amigos de Guatemala. Viva Israel, Estados Unidos, y Guatemala!
    It is about time we have a president who treats Israel as a friend, the way it should be. Even if the rest of the world turns its back on Israel, we must support and protect Israel. God will bless those who bless the Jews and curse those who curse the Jews.
