Brazil Opens Jerusalem Trade Office as Step to Embassy Shift
(AFP-Al Arabiya) Brazil opened a trade office in Jerusalem on Sunday, in a ceremony attended by President Jair Bolsonaro's son and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking at the ceremony, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a lawmaker who chairs the International Affairs and National Defense Committee in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, said his father intended to make good on a pledge he made early this year to move Brazil's embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. "We want to do a movement to Jerusalem not only for Brazil but to be an example for the rest of Latin America."
