]]> KINSHASA, Feb 12 (Reuters) – Police in Democratic Republic of Congo fired tear gas on Monday to disperse protesters who burned tyres and U.S. and Belgian flags near Western embassies and U.N. offices in the capital Kinshasa, angry about insecurity in eastern Congo.

The protesters, seizing on a new tactic by targeting embassies, say the West supports neighbouring Rwanda, which is accused of backing the Tutsi-led M23 rebellion whose advance is threatening the strategic city of Goma in the east.

Rwanda has denied the accusations. Congo, Western governments including the United States and Belgium, and a United Nations expert group say the rebel group benefits from Rwandan support.

Despite security being stepped up after U.N. staff and vehicles were attacked on Saturday, groups of protesters gathered at the U.S. and French embassies and the offices of the United Nations mission in Congo known as MONUSCO.

]]> Israel was thrilled at the weekend over news that Guatemala had decided to follow in America’s footsteps by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state and beginning the process of moving its embassy here.

After profusely thanking Guatemala for taking such a courageous stand, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the Central America nation wouldn’t be the last to do so.

“I told you recently there would be other countries that will recognize Jerusalem and move their embassies,” Netanyahu said. “I repeat: There will be more, this is just the beginning.”

Shortly after, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely told Israel Radio that Netanyahu’s words were already coming true, as at least 10 more countries were in talks to move their embassies to Jerusalem.

Hotovely did not go into details about which countries were considering the move, but most expect Honduras to be the next to make such an announcement.

Like Guatemala, neighboring Honduras has grown very close to Israel in recent years, and its president, Juan Orlando Hernandez, spent time in the Jewish state and is a graduate of Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation.

Both Guatemala and Honduras were among the nine nations that voted “no” last week when the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution effectively condemning US President Donald Trump over his Jerusalem decision.
