Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was in Israel on Thursday for the inauguration of his country’s embassy in Jerusalem, following up on his pledge made last summer.

Orlando will meet with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett as well as his predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was instrumental in making it happen.
