Sierra Leone’s government has said that it is ready to establish an embassy in Jerusalem.
This follows other countries like the US, Guatemala, Honduras and Kosovo who have already opened embassies there.
Israel considers Jerusalem to be its capital – including East Jerusalem which it annexed in 1980.
But the move is not recognised by most of the international community.
Most countries have kept their embassies to Israel in Tel Aviv, as they think the status of Jerusalem should be decided in negotiations with the Palestinians – who claim it as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
