Fiji Opens Embassy in Jerusalem, Seventh Country to Do So

Fiji has opened its embassy in Jerusalem, making it the seventh country to do so.

This is a big deal because most countries keep their embassies in Tel Aviv.

The United States was the first to move its embassy to Jerusalem in 2018.

Since then, a few other countries have followed suit.

This move is seen as support for Israel, as Jerusalem is considered its capital, even though this isn't recognized by all countries.

Israeli leaders like Netanyahu and Sa'ar are welcoming these moves and want to see more countries do the same.

A recent law passed in Israel also supports this, prohibiting new consulates while encouraging the establishment of embassies in Jerusalem.
