GUATEMALA CITY–Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said on Sunday he had given instructions to move the Central American country’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a few days after his government backed the United States in its decision to move its embassy.

In a short post on his official Facebook account, Morales said he decided to move the embassy to Jerusalem after talking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

This month, U.S. President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, acting on the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act which mandated moving the embassy. The move was a promise made by past U.S. presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, but it was never carried out.
