AJC welcomed the announcement by Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales that the country plans to return its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, where it had been located until 1980.
AJC is dismayed by the overwhelming support of UN Member States for the General Assembly resolution condemning U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
AJC praised the Trump Administration for exercising its veto power at the UN Security Council to block a resolution calling on the president to rescind his December 6 announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city.
