‘Israel’ is pressuring countries to move their embassies to Jerusalem by no longer accepting requests to open honorary consulates in the capital, Zionist Channel 13 reports.
The Zionist Foreign Ministry sent an official letter last November to all countries that have diplomatic relations with ‘Israel’, saying from now on such requests will be refused and honorary consuls’ terms won’t be renewed unless those countries already have an embassy in Jerusalem, the report says.
The move reportedly came after Australia and the Czech Republic sought to open honorary consulates in Jerusalem instead of moving their embassies to the contested city, as the US and Guatemala have done.
