In his interview with Galei Tzahal about Nauru's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Tibor Shaloser, Ambassador of Israel to the Pacific Island, said: "It is a relationship that has continued since the states gained independence, and is based on shared values."
Although the extent of the state of Nauru is about 17 kilometers, and numbers only ten thousand people, but according to the ambassador, it benefits Israel quite a bit. "Their vote in the UN is like that of the United States," he explained.
