Netanyahu says Brazil committed to move embassy to Jerusalem in 2020

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he has been given assurances by the son of Brazil's president that Brazil will follow the United States and move its embassy to Jerusalem next year. Bolsonaro's son, lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, told an opening ceremony of a new Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency in Jerusalem that his father told him that for sure, as a commitment, he's going to move the embassy to Jerusalem.

But he did not give a date. Netanyahu later issued a statement saying he met with Eduardo Bolsonaro, who told him they had committed to move Brazil's embassy to Jerusalem in 2020. U.S. President Donald Trump broke global consensus by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital in late 2017 and moving the U.S. embassy there the following May.
