Republic of Malawi

Tiny Malawi in the South East of Africa is the first African nation to establish its embassy in the newly recognized capitol of Israel, Jerusalem.

The announcement made by Malawi Foreign Minster Eisenhower Mkaka during visit to Israel; this mission would be third embassy in Israel’s capital.

Never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity, Palestine immediately protested the announcement.

Cameron sends.

Malawi Plans Embassy in Jerusalem
By James Butty

Malawi will establish an embassy in Jerusalem, its foreign minister announced during a visit to Israel.

The move represents “a bold and significant step,” the minister, Eisenhower Mkaka, said in a video statement Tuesday. It would make Malawi the first African country in decades to open an embassy in Jerusalem, a city considered holy to the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions.

“I look forward to your embassy opening soon, and I’m sure that more African leaders will follow this decision,” Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said in appearing with Mkaka, Reuters reported.

Malawi is one of few African countries to have maintained continuous diplomatic ties with Israel since the central African country’s independence in 1964, according to The Jerusalem Post. It reports that 16 countries – including Ivory Coast, Kenya and what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo – closed embassies in Jerusalem following the 1973 Middle East War. Those that later reopened embassies did so in the commercial hub of Tel Aviv.

U.S. President Donald Trump sparked controversy for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in late 2017 and shifting the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv the following May. Guatemala soon followed suit, and a handful of other countries have at least publicly contemplated similar moves.

Another small step for stability in a volatile region, due to Trump’s recognizing Israel’s capitol. Read the entire article here: Voice of Africa News

Just another example of the War Mongering Zionists Puppets, aided and abetted by the Great Satan, forcing another peace loving peoples Country into a sham recognition for propaganda purposes. /s/

Incoming President Kameltoe Harris will ensure that her new Ambassador to the Middle East, JEF, has plenty of peace dividend monies to give the peace loving peoples of Palestine more rockets.

Weird. Exclude the lunatic synthetic “palestinians” and Peace becomes possible.

Almost as if their advocates, on all sides, didn’t actually want Peace.

Good. The significance is much greater than the size of the country.
