According to Ynet, senior European ambassadors to Israel, including German and French officials, boycotted the July 4 ceremony at the US embassy in Jerusalem.
The ceremony was held in honor of American Independence Day, and the ambassadors who chose not to participate did so because of the location – their countries do not recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
According to Ynet, ambassadors attending the event included officials from Romania and the UK as well as Kosovo, Australia, Norway and Canada.
