In an effort to strengthen its relations with Israel following Paraguay’s decision to move its embassy back to Tel Aviv, a city in Guatemala has passed a unanimous measure to name all the streets in the city after names of Israeli cities and communities.
Licenciado Hugo Sarceño, mayor of Puerto Barrios, made the announcement while in Israel with a high-level delegation from the large Guatemalan city.
Sarceño explained that his port city’s support for Israel is Bible-based.
“We believe that everyone who helps the State of Israel will be blessed by God,” he said. “We are great supporters of the State of Israel, we love the citizens of Israel and are interested in deep cooperation between our countries. The connection isn’t just between governments, but between the peoples of our countries.”
The purpose of Sarceño’s trip is to strengthen relations with Israel and attract Israeli investment in infrastructure development, transportation systems, civil aviation, seaports, agriculture and science in Guatemala.
Paraguay’s new government announced on Wednesday it would reverse its predecessor’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and that it would relocate its embassy to Tel Aviv.
Guatemala was the second government after the US to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move its embassy to Jerusalem.

The Trump Effect.
Wow. That’s pretty major. Good for them!
So the Stroessner Family must be back in charge in Paraguay.
“We believe that everyone who helps the State of Israel will be blessed by God”...
He’s right.
The Gospel is making deep inroads in Guatemala (no pun intended).
Love it!

Wow, the people of this city give one hope after dealing with our squirrels up here.
An action that is Guatebuena.
RE: City in Guatemala to name all streets after Israeli cities and communities
Why not just move your embassy to Jerusalem already.
Ping.

Wow, that’s very cool.
(”Cool” is not the word I want, but I don’t know the right English word.)
I am deeply humbled by this kind of support.
They did on May 16, just two days after the US did.
