JERUSALEM — Israel and Kosovo have agreed to establish diplomatic ties and Kosovo, along with Serbia, will open embassies in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday.

Netanyahu's statement came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump made a similar announcement in Washington, where he met with leaders of Serbia and Kosovo as they agreed to normalize economic ties between them.

"Kosovo will be the first country with a Muslim majority to open an embassy in Jerusalem," Netanyahu said. "As I've said in recent days - the circle of peace and recognition of Israel is expanding and more countries are expected to join."

Only two countries - the United States and Guatemala - have already opened embassies in Jerusalem. Palestinians have opposed such moves.

The status of Jerusalem is one of the thorniest obstacles to forging a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, who with broad international backing want East Jerusalem, captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war, as their capital.

Israel regards all of the city, including the eastern sector it annexed after the 1967 war, as its capital.

Recognition of Israel is expanding and more countries are expected to join it," Netanyahu says
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that Kosovo will become the world's first Muslim-majority nation to open its Israel embassy in Jerusalem.
The announcement came shortly after US President Donald Trump unveiled a historic accord on economic ties between Kosovo and Serbia, which also included Kosovo recognizing Israel and Serbia relocating its embassy to Jerusalem.
During his meeting with Kosovo's Prime Minister Abdullah Hoti, Trump called Netanyahu to congratulate the two leaders on the decision to establish formal diplomatic ties, the Prime Minister's office said.
At the meeting, Hoti also announced that the country's diplomatic mission to Israel will be based in Jerusalem.

"As I said in recent days, the circle of peace and recognition of Israel is expanding and more countries are expected to join it," Netanyahu said.
Kosovo's parliament voted for its independence in 2008. It was recognized by some 114 states across the world, but Israel was not on that list as the nation did not recognize the Jewish state.
This is now set to change under a breakthrough deal between Serbia and Kosovo brokered by the United States.

There is nothing embarrasing. I would support if Turkey establish Turkish embassy in Jerusalem.
