The government of Moldova formally voted on Tuesday to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The decision was announced by the country’s Cabinet of Ministers, which also voted to approve an agreement on a sale of land for construction of the U.S. Embassy in Moldova.
“We are in a situation in which we have to approve these decisions in an urgent manner, given the political instability and uncertainty in the country, as one of the political parties has been always blocking these two important decisions while trying to take over the power illegally,” said Moldova’s Prime Minister Pavel Filip on Tuesday in a statement.
Since both decisions were officially adopted by the country’s Cabinet of Ministers, and thus by the Government of the Republic of Molodova, neither can be blocked through political crises.
