Note that Rep. Trent Franks introduced legislation in the House (H.R. 257) that would specifically recognize Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s undivided capital.\n\u00a0\n\u201cPresident Trump is right to proclaim Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital. Israel is America\u2019s most cherished ally in the world, and it is time the world understands there is no space between us. The president\u2019s announcement will be a giant step in the right direction. Now it is time to do away with the biannual waver completely and unequivocally signal Israel\u2019s sovereignty in Jerusalem by moving the U.S. embassy there as soon as possible.\u201d\n\u200b", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://franks.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/chair-israel-allies-caucus-reacts-reports-trump-plans-recognize"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.712059834972024, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
