In a historic move, Kosovo (a Muslim majority nation) has officially opened its Jerusalem embassy, thus joining the US and Guatemalan embassies which currently reside in Israel’s capital!

In September of 2020, the Trump administration brokered a deal, underreported in the media, between Serbia and Kosovo, bringing an end to the decades long and often bloody saga which famously killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians.  As part of the peace deal, Serbia and Kosovo both agreed to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

As part of the move, Israel has recognized Kosovo’s declaration of independence from Serbia, which was made in 2008.  Currently 98 countries, roughly 51% of the world’s nations, recognize Kosovo.

Other countries who have pledged to move their embassies to Jerusalem in the near future include Serbia, Malawi, Equatorial New Guinea, and Honduras.

In other news, last week the Czech Republic opened a branch of its embassy in Jerusalem, joining Brazil and Hungary who have done the same.
