Palestine recalls four envoys to EU countries

Palestine has recalled its ambassadors in Romania, Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic after US embassy move.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry recalled the ambassadors on Wednesday citing those EU nations’ participation in an official Israeli celebration of the US Embassy’s move to Jerusalem.

It said ambassadors from the four countries took part in an Israeli Foreign Ministry reception on Sunday in Jerusalem, reports Reuters.

They took part in the celebration for the official delegation from Washington that inaugurated the US Embassy in the city on Monday.

Israel said all 86 countries with diplomatic missions in Israel were invited to the event, and 33 accepted.
