Colombia officially opened its embassy to Israel in Jerusalem on 14 October, AFP reported [2]. The opening places Colombia among a small group of countries, including the United States, with embassies in the city.
Most countries keep their embassies to Israel in Tel Aviv because Jerusalem’s status remains an issue for an eventual Israeli–Palestinian settlement, according to AFP [2]. Colombia’s foreign ministry had announced the inauguration a day earlier. It described the visit surrounding the opening as part of a new phase in relations after diplomatic ties were formally restored in August 2026 [1].
