Paraguay moves Israeli embassy to Jerusalem
12 December 2024 17:32 GMT
The South American nation of Paraguay formally opened its new Jerusalem embassy in Israel on Thursday, as Israel faces isolation on the world stage over its war on Gaza and Lebanon.
The move is a victory for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who attended the ceremony with Paraguay's President Santiago Pena.
Paraguay's former President Horacio Cartes ordered the move to Jerusalem in 2018 but later changed back to Tel Aviv after Cartes' successor, Mario Abdo, changed the policy.
Pena is a conservative leader close to Netanyahu.
