Guatemala has officially recognized the City of David, an archaeological site in Jerusalem, as part of its national inheritance. A plaque signed by Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo was unveiled in a ceremony attended by senior Israeli, US, and Guatemalan officials.
The City of David is an ancient archaeological site located in the Silwan neighborhood of East Jerusalem, considered by many to be the original settlement core of Jerusalem. The recognition by Guatemala marks a significant diplomatic gesture, as it is one of the few countries to have moved its embassy to Jerusalem.
President Arévalo's government has maintained close ties with Israel, and this declaration aligns with Guatemala's historical support for Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem. The plaque ceremony underscores the cultural and historical ties between the two nations.
