The Pacific island nation of Nauru has decided to open an embassy in Jerusalem, becoming the tenth country to establish a diplomatic mission in Israel's capital. The decision was announced by Nauru's cabinet and confirmed by Israeli media, including i24NEWS and Israel Hayom. The move follows a meeting between Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Nauru's Deputy President Lionel Aingimea last month, and is part of a broader Israeli diplomatic push to gain international recognition of Jerusalem as its capital. Nauru, a longtime supporter of Israel at the United Nations, is the fifth country to open an embassy in Jerusalem during Sa'ar's tenure as foreign minister. The embassy's opening date has not yet been announced.
