“My support for Israel is rooted in history, family, and conviction. My great-grandfather, Ambassador Jorge García Granados, stood with the Jewish people when the international community faced a defining choice. Guatemala's friendship with Israel is part of our national story, and I intend to honor it.”
“Israel is a democracy surrounded by threats that would end its existence if they could. It has built an economy of extraordinary innovation under conditions most nations would call impossible. Guatemala has much to learn from that, and much to gain from working alongside it.”
“That partnership should be concrete: security cooperation, water and agricultural technology, cybersecurity, medicine, education, and a serious trilateral relationship with the United States. Friendship between nations is measured in results, not in declarations.”
