Paraguay opens its Israel embassy in Jerusalem, second country to follow U.S. lead

Output:

Other sources for this story:

  1. Paraguay opens Israel embassy in Jerusalem (9)

Opinions:

  1. Memo to Israel: Lebanon is not Hezbollah, Gaza is not Hamas (2)

Output:

  1. Pompeo speech reveals no realistic plan to get a better Iran deal (3)
