Russia, China, France and the UK are the main countries that will not be attending the cutting of the ribbon at the US embassy in Jerusalem. These four countries are permanent members of the UN Security Council.
Israel has published a list of 32 countries that said they would attend the inauguration. Of those included on the list, Austria, Vietnam, DR Congo and Ivory Coast denied they would attend.
Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic are the only EU members that have accepted Israel's invitation.
Siha Mekomit, a Hebrew news site, described the countries that would attend the US embassy inauguration as "Israel's club of arms customers."
