Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez was to travel to Israel to inaugurate a “diplomatic office” in Jerusalem, recognising the holy city as Israel’s capital.
The diplomatic office in the disputed city will be an extension of Honduras’ Tel Aviv-based embassy.
“For me it’s the recognition that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel,” Hernandez said.
The foreign ministry said in a statement Israel had proposed that Honduras move its embassy to Jerusalem, which is being “analysed and evaluated in the international and national context.”
Last year, the United States moved its embassy to Jerusalem.
Guatemala and Paraguay followed suit while Brazil said it was studying the possibility.
Paraguay reversed its decision after just four months.
