Several countries have moved their embassies to Jerusalem following a 2017 US decision. The United States recognized the city as Israel's capital and relocated its mission a year later. This move triggered a trend among other nations to follow suit. Interestingly, two of the countries that moved their embassies have Muslim majorities. This shift has caused significant diplomatic tension in the region. The moves reflect changing political alliances. Many countries still maintain their embassies elsewhere due to the conflict.
