Guatemala has become the second country, after the United States, to open an Embassy in Jerusalem. Such an act of solidarity with the Jewish people is truly incredible and my heart is bursting with love.
Unlike many other countries, who are siding with Hamas terrorists and blaming Israel for the current chaos, Guatemala is smart enough and brave enough to challenge popular opinion.
Here in the New England area, over 30,000 Guatemalans live in Massachusetts. I have met some, and I can honestly say that these are wonderful people, who are very family oriented and contribute a lot to the country when they immigrate (legally, of course). Even with cultural differences and a language barrier, friendship can flourish and I support them.
In addition to Guatemala and the US, I’ve heard that Paraguay is intending to move their embassy as well, which is tremendously exciting! Obviously, I want everyone to embrace Jerusalem. Unfortunately, that will not happen, but if we can get a majority, that alone would be a miracle.
Israel’s existence should never be taken for granted, but She continues to grow stronger, year by year, providing a safe haven for Jews and a hotbed for innovation that benefits the entire world.
I love Guatemala too! My husband is Guatemalan and my teen daughter is studying there since I felt high school abroad would be great for her and she can also be with family lol it also gives me an excuse to travel often which is a good thing. I saw this on the news there and think this is very nice of the country to do. You will have to visit one day, the country has some beautiful places.
I would love to visit in person. That is so cool that your daughter is already getting to live in a different country, exposed to multiple cultures/languages. When I was young, my extended family hosted an exchange student that visited from Spain. I will always remember it fondly. Study abroad is wonderful and anyone who can do, should do it.
good news! I want everyone to embrace Jerusalem too.
So happy you agree 🙂
