Hungary's becoming the first European country to move their embassy to Jerusalem:
Hungary is planning on relocating its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Zman Yisrael reported Friday morning.That too is very good news, and is important for making clear that these steps can't be based on political positions alone.
The move is set to take place in April, and is reportedly intended as a personal gesture by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu.
[...] Senior officials from the Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed to Zman Yisrael that the move is expected to take place next month, and was initiated by Prime Minister Orban in order to boost Netanyahu amid criticism at home and abroad over his government’s plan to reform the Israeli judiciary.
The report comes just days after Papua New Guinea announced its own plans to open an embassy in Jerusalem.
