The issue of opening the Honduran embassy in Jerusalem was raised during Sara Netanyahu’s recent visit to Guatemala during a lunch hosted by Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales and his wife.

At that time, Morales and Netanyahu called the Honduran president and suggested that he meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu in Brazil in order to advance the transfer of the Honduran embassy to Jerusalem.

Prime Minister Netanyahu also met separately with Honduran President Hernandez after their meeting together with Pompeo.
