Asfura, the descendent of Christian Palestinians and known by the nickname “Papi,” is a member of the conservative right-wing National Party. The party’s previous president, Juan Orlando Hernandez, opened Honduras’ embassy in Jerusalem in 2021. Hernandez, who was also honored with lighting a torch at Israel’s Independence Day ceremony, was extradited to the United States by Honduras three years ago and sentenced to 45 years in prison on cocaine trafficking charges. During Asfura’s election campaign, former President Donald Trump, who supported Asfura, announced a pardon for Hernandez. (责任编辑：) |
