The eastern European country of Moldova announced Tuesday that it will move its embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, which would make it the first European country to have an embassy in Jerusalem.
The Cabinet of Ministers also decided to approve an agreement on the sale of the plot of land for the construction of the Embassy of the United States of America in the Republic of Moldova.
The announcement followed a constitutional and political crisis last week that ended with pro-Russian President Igor Dodon being stripped of power and replaced with interim prime minister Pavel Filip.
“Moldova has proven time and again in recent years to be a true friend of the State of Israel, as well as a leader in the fight against antisemitism worldwide. Its decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem follows other important steps of good faith, including its prioritization of protecting its Jewish community, as demonstrated by its recent adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, and its efforts to preserve Holocaust memory,” said WJC CEO and Executive Vice President Robert Singer.
