Paraguay reopens its embassy in Jerusalem

The South American nation of Paraguay reopened its embassy in Jerusalem.

Paraguay first relocated its embassy to Jerusalem in 2018 under the pro-Israel government of then-President Horacio Cartes but reversed its decision months later when a new administration came to power.

The decision of President Santiago Peña to reopen the Jerusalem embassy makes Paraguay the first country to make the move since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack last year triggered the war.
