Congo to Move Embassy to Yerushalayim From Tel Aviv
YERUSHALAYIM (Reuters) – Democratic Republic of Congo will move its Israel embassy to Yerushalayim from Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Friday.
Netanyahu, who met Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi during the U.N. General Assembly, announced in a statement that Israel would also be opening an embassy in Kinshasa, the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo.

Israel considers Yerushalayim its eternal and indivisible capital and wants all embassies based there.
