The president of Guatemala, President Jimmy Morales, says the Central American country will move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Guatemala was one of nine nations that voted earlier this week with the United States when the U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a non-binding resolution denouncing President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said on his official Facebook account Sunday that after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he decided to instruct his foreign ministry to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The resolution passed at the U.N. declared the U.S. action on Jerusalem “null and void.” The 128-9 vote was a victory for Palestinians but fell short of the total they had predicted. Thirty-five nations abstained and 21 stayed away from the vote.
