Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, participated in the opening of the Brazilian trade office in Jerusalem on Sunday. The son of Brazilian President Eduardo Bolsinaro, who chairs the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Brazilian National Congress’ Chamber of Deputies told the Prime Minister that Brazil is committed to moving its Embassy to Jerusalem over the course of 2020.
“As my father says, the Brazilian Embassy will move to Jerusalem. It’s not something extraordinary. It’s supposed to be a natural and normal thing… Because we do believe that whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, and whoever curses Israel will be cursed,” he added, paraphrasing a Biblical verse.
Bolsonaro then added, “If we do not move the embassy to Jerusalem, if the terrorists think that they can threaten us, it will be a shame on us. If you want to avoid a terrorist attack, you have to show power.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised his country’s relationship with the Latin American country, saying “we have no better friends than the people and government of Brazil.”
The office, which is under the auspices of Brazil’s foreign ministry, is known as Apex-Brasil and is situated in Jerusalem’s Har Hotzvim tech park.
So far only the United States and Guatemala have moved their embassies to Jerusalem. Honduras is expected to do so in the coming weeks.

Israel would be smart to keep their mouth shut.
Let them do the Embassy moves, but shut up.
You would not have lost Eli Cohen, if you would shut up.
You would have had many other embassies in J-M, but shut up already.
I don’t to talk about the other travesties that could have been avoided, if Israel would shut up.
Don’t foretell about the terrorists demolitions.
Don’t foretell about the Palestine illegal’s buildings that you will demolish.
Don’t brag so much, keep under the radar AT ALL TIMES.
