Palestine condemns Paraguay’s decision to reopen its embassy in Jerusalem

Paraguay reopens embassy with ceremony attended by Paraguayan President Santiago Pena, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

ISTANBUL (AA) - Palestine condemns Paraguay’s decision to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry announced late Thursday.

"Paraguay's decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem is a violation of international law, UN resolutions, and the opinion of the International Court of Justice," it said on X.

The ministry condemned the decision taken by Paraguayan President Santiago Pena, standing on the wrong side of history and rewarding the Israeli occupation for continuing to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.

Paraguay reopened its embassy Thursday in Jerusalem with a ceremony attended by Pena and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Pena arrived Wednesday in Israel on the eve of the embassy’s relocation from Tel Aviv -- a move hailed as "courageous" by Netanyahu.

Paraguay originally relocated its embassy to Jerusalem in 2018 under its pro-Israel government of then-President Horacio Cartes. It reversed its decision months later when a new administration came to power.
