Guatemala joins; More are next.

 

Guatemala's President Jimmy Morales inaugurated his country's embassy in Jerusalem on Wednesday, following in the footsteps of the United States, which opened its own embassy in the capital earlier this week. 
 

"It's not a coincidence that Guatemala is opening its embassy in Jerusalem among the first, you were always among the first," Netanyhu said at the outset of his remarks at the ceremony.

 

"You were the second country to recognize Israel, but you had a very important role in this," he went on to say, explaining that "Your ambassador to the United Nations, Jorge Granados, was very active in lobbying the countries at the UN at the time to support the Partition Resolution, which was effectively the recognition of the Jewish state by the United Nations."
