The cabinet of Nauru, a South Pacific island nation, has decided to open an embassy in Jerusalem, according to Israeli media. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who has been working to bring embassies to the capital, said the decision makes Nauru the tenth country to establish an embassy in Jerusalem.
The decision by Nauru's cabinet formalizes an announcement earlier this morning, as The Zioneer reported at 08:13 Jerusalem time. The Pacific island nation now joins nine other countries with embassies in Jerusalem. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who met with Nauru's Deputy President and Foreign Minister Lionel Aingimea last month, has made bringing embassies to Jerusalem a key priority. Nauru, located near the equator in the Pacific, is one of the Micronesian island nations. The move is the fifth embassy opened in Jerusalem during Sa'ar's tenure as foreign minister.
