The Costa Rican caucus consists of 13 parliamentarians, including legislative president Rafael Ortiz, Karla Prendas, Paulina Ramírez, Sandra Piszk, Juan Luis Jimenez, Juan Marin and Michael Arce of the National Liberation Party; Otto Guevara, the President of the Libertarian Movement; Gonzalo Ramirez, Abelino Esquivel and Fabricio Alvarado of the two Christian parties; Victor Morales and Marvin Atencio Zapata of the Official Party.

"The establishment of the caucus demonstrates Costa Rica's profound support for Israel and the importance it places in its bilateral relationship with the Jewish state," said the foundation's Latin American coordinator, Leopoldo Martinez.

Prendas, chairwoman of the caucus, told her fellow parliamentarians, "For years, the solidarity and friendship between the people of Costa Rica and Israel has been very clear, but we must constantly nourish and strengthen the relationship. We are here to increase efforts in that direction. That is precisely the reason for this activity."

At the meeting which established the caucus, 20 parliamentarians, including Ortiz and three members of the board of the Legislative Assembly, signed a foundation document which reaffirmed "the right of the State of Israel and the Jewish People to Jerusalem as its eternal capital," and recommended "that all the countries move their embassy to Jerusalem."

Caucus member Guevara said he was one of two Costa Rican MPs who attended the Israel Allies Foundation's Latin America Summit on Israel in Miami in April.

"It was a wonderful and informative experience. The foundation has an international network of parliamentarians around the world and I strongly encourage everyone to support their efforts," he said.
