The ‘Israeli' Foreign Ministry is in touch with "at least 10 countries" from different parts of the world that are mulling over moving their embassies to al-Quds, following US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize the occupied city as the Zionist capital, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely.

More Upcoming Embassy Relocations as ‘Israel’ in Contact With ’10 More Countries’

"We are in contact with at least ten countries, some of them in Europe" to discuss the possible move, Hotovely told Reshet Bet radio on Monday, refusing, however, to name those countries.

Hotovely also suggested that Trump's decision on the status of al-Quds would "trigger a wave" of similar moves. "So far we have only seen the beginning," she said.

Her comments come in the wake of Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales' decision to move his country's embassy to the occupied holy city.

Earlier on Sunday, he wrote in a Facebook post that he had spoken with Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and given instructions to the foreign minister to "initiate the process to make it possible."

In response, Netanyahu praised the move, saying, "God bless you, my friend."

On December 21, the UN General Assembly approved a resolution that rejects Trump's recognition of al-Quds as the capital of the Zionist entity after 128 member states voted in favor of the move, however, nine countries voted against the resolution and 35 countries abstained.

The resolution condemns both US recognition of al-Quds as the capital of ‘Israel' as well as Washington's decision to move its embassy to the city.

Guatemala was one of two Central American countries, alongside neighboring Honduras, to vote against the resolution. ‘Israeli' Channel 10 reported that Honduras is likely to be next to follow the move by Guatemala. According to i24news, other speculations included the Philippines, Romania and South Sudan.

On December 6, Trump announced his decision to recognize occupied al-Quds as the capital of the ‘Israeli' occupation entity and instructed the US State Department to move the US Embassy in the occupied territories from Tel Aviv to al-Quds, a decision that resulted in worldwide condemnation.
