Israel Recognizes Honduras Elections

Israel became the fifth country to officially announce that it would recognize the results of Sunday’s elections in Honduras.

Many countries and international bodies have warned they would not recognize election results if the Honduran polls are held under Roberto Micheletti’s presidency. The interim leader announced on Wednesday he was temporarily stepping down to “guarantee free, spontaneous and transparent” elections.

“The government of Israel hopes that the voting would go on in a calm atmosphere and, in this case, it will recognize its results and the legitimacy of the elected president,” Israel’s ambassador to the Central American state, Eliahu Lipez, has said.
