SAN SALVADOR: Officials in El Salvador announced on Friday that they will transfer their embassy from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, meaning that all embassies will now be located in the western Israeli city.
El Salvador had been the lone holdout, the only country to maintain its embassy in Jerusalem, after Costa Rica decided on Aug 16 to move its mission to Tel Aviv.
The Salvadoran government reached the decision after ‘analysing with Israel the current situation in the Middle East, especially after the agreements reached in UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which seeks to promote security and greater stability’ in the region, it said in a statement.—AFP
