Paraguay reopened its embassy in occupied Al-Quds on Thursday, reaffirming its political alignment and cooperation with the Israeli occupation.

The event was presided over by Paraguayan President Santiago Peña, alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marking a contentious development in regional and international relations.

President Peña framed the decision as a commitment to shared values, despite widespread international condemnation of the occupation of Palestinian territories.

"This is something we believe in: that all countries in the world have the right to freedom and self-determination. We will stand with Israel no matter what," Peña said during his speech.
