Guatemala Follows U.S. Lead Will Move Its Israel Embassy To Jerusalem : The Two
President Trump 's Dec. 6 announcement  that the U.S. would change decades of U.S. policy and recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital  was met with clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces.
"Though Congress passed a law in 1995 ordering the U.S. Embassy to be moved to Jerusalem  successive presidents â including  Trump   earlier this year â have issued a series of six-month waivers to forestall the move. "No other country has established its embassy in Jerusalem  which is sacred to Jews  Muslims and Christians. Its final status has been a central point of contention in peace talks for decades."
 Trump  didn't set a timetable for moving the U.S. Embassy  and neither did Guatemala's president.
In  his  post on  his  official Facebook account Sunday  Morales said that after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  he decided to instruct Guatemala's foreign ministry to move the embassy.
The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly rejected the  Trump  administration's decision to recognize the disputed city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
