During the inauguration of Paraguay’s embassy in Jerusalem, President Santiago Peña reaffirmed the country’s everlasting support for Israel, a move contrary to international consensus. Peña emphasized Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel, echoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s sentiments. The relationship comes in the wake of Paraguay’s previous embassy relocation in 2018, which was reversed in 2019. This event reignites tensions related to Jerusalem’s status, a critical issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which remains unresolved internationally.
