Guatemala, Honduras & Panama Plan to Move Their Embassies to Jerusalem But There's a Catch

I am no more excited by the announcements from the governments of Guatemala, Honduras and Panama declaring their intention to move their embassies to Jerusalem than I was when President Trump declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The reason for my lack of enthusiasm is that their plans are contingent on the United States moving its embassy from Tel Aviv first. Trump can declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel all he wants, but as long as he continues to extend the six month presidential waiver as he has already done twice then the American embassy isn't going anywhere with his successor free to also to extend the presidential waiver and possibly reverse course on Jerusalem altogether. It will render Trump's declaration meaningless and, by extension, render meaningless the declarations put forward by Guatemala, Honduras and Panama or any other nation state.

I wish supporters of President Trump would read the fine print when it comes to such things.
