Paraguay has reopened its embassy in Jerusalem, recognizing the city as Israel's capital, in a move that marks a diplomatic victory for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Paraguay first relocated its embassy to Jerusalem in 2018 but reversed the decision months later. The reopening of the embassy makes Paraguay the first country to do so since Hamas' attack last year triggered the war. The move is controversial as Israel considers Jerusalem its unified capital, while Palestinians want east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
