An Israeli political official said Saturday night that the transfer of the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem was only a matter of time.

The source was quoted as saying that the case was raised during a meeting of the newly-elected Brazilian president, Jayir Bolsonaro, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his recent visit to the country.

"The situation is similar to that of US president Donald Trump," he added. He noted that the Brazilian president had promised to do so soon.
