When you step up and do the right thing, others will follow.
Guatemala’s president announced on Christmas Eve that the Central American country will move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, becoming the first nation to follow the lead of U.S. President Donald Trump in ordering the change.
Guatemala was one of nine nations that voted with the United States and Israel on Thursday when the U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a non-binding resolution denouncing Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The Czech Republic has already made a temporary move in that direction. And there are reports that the Philippines might be considering the same course. The Czech Republic however voted against the US at the UN. Which shows how rare a quality courage can be. But it also shows how the taboo is being gradually broken. The OIC still holds most of the UN hostage. But not all of it.
