President-Elect of Brazil Promises Israel: You Can Count on Our Vote at the UN, Will Relocate Embassy


(Israel Hayom) Boaz Bismuth - Jair Bolsonaro, the president-elect of Brazil, told Israel Hayom in an interview that his support for Israel was not just an election gimmick. "I was in Israel two years ago and I intend to return....I love the Israeli people and Israel. You can depend on the fact that I will promote closeness and fruitful cooperation between us starting in 2019....Rest assured that you can depend on our vote in the UN on almost all the issues having to do with Israel." "Israel is a sovereign state. If you decide on your capital city, we will act in accordance. When I was asked during the campaign if I'll do it [relocate the embassy] when I was president, I said yes, and that you're the ones who decide on the capital of Israel, not other people." "As for the Palestinian Embassy...Palestine first needs to be a state to have the right to an embassy."
