The Czech Republic is close to announcing the relocation of its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Axar.az reports, citing Ynet, a senior Czech official recently informed an Israeli counterpart that the Czech government has made a decision to move the embassy in the near future.

The move follows a request by U.S. President Donald Trump, who transferred the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in 2018 during his term. That same year, the Czech Republic opened offices in Jerusalem for cultural and economic affairs, later adding a consular section.

Notably, if the embassy opens in Jerusalem, the Czech Republic will become the first European country to take such a step.
