Embassies

All countries have their embassies in the capital.

The embassies of all the foreign countries are in Paris.

Until now, only two countries, the US and Guatemala, shifted their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

To celebrate the June 5 World Environment Day, diplomats from more than a dozen foreign embassies and international organizations Monday joined the U.S. State Department to plant underwater seagrass in the Potomac River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.

It is hard for city and federal officials to take action because embassies have extraterritorial status under international law.
