DR Congo to Relocate Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
The Democratic Republic of Congo has announced plans to move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem after a bilateral meeting between President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A joint statement issued post-meeting indicated that both leaders are committed to enhancing diplomatic relations, with steps being taken towards the embassy's relocation.
No specific timeline for this move was provided. President Tshisekedi has expressed favorable views towards Israel over the years, attributing his stance to his Christian faith.
This announcement aligns with a broader trend, as only a few countries have relocated their embassies to Jerusalem since the United States did so in 2018. The DRC's decision follows a similar commitment from Colombia's President Abelardo de la Espriella and Argentine President Javier Milei, both of whom have also pledged to move their embassies to Jerusalem.
