Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez said that the adoption of such a decision was the prerogative of the executive branch only, and not of any other authority.
Honduras will be the third country after the United States and Guatemala to take a decision that will stir controversy and fuel relations with Arab and Islamic countries.
"The Honduran Congress has adopted a decision to transfer the embassy to Jerusalem, and Netanyahu will soon speak with the Honduran president on this matter," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said.
in December 26, 2017, Guatemala announced the transfer of its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, becoming the first country in the world to follow US President Donald Trump, who recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and decided to move the Washington embassy to the beginning of December.
