Guatemala Announces Relocation of its Embassy to Occupied Al-Quds

Local Editor

In a blatant move, the President of Guatemala, Jimmy Morales, announced his decision to move the embassy of his country to Occupied Al-Quds.

"We talked about the excellent relations we have had as nations since Guatemala supported the creation of "Israel"," Morales said in a Facebook post.

The Central American country was one of just nine states to support the US decision during the United Nations General Assembly [UNGA] vote this week.

On Thursday, the UNGA overwhelmingly passed a non-binding resolution condemning Donald Trump's declaration to recognize Occupied Al-Quds as the capital of the "Israeli" entity and called
on member states not to move their diplomatic missions to the Holy City.

The UNGA resolution was backed by 128 states, while 35 countries abstained. Guatemala, Honduras, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Togo, the US and "Israel" voted in favor of the US decision.

On Friday, "Israeli" prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a number of countries are "seriously considering" moving their embassies to al-Quds.
