Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital repairs a longtime injustice and sends a clear signal to the world that despite their attempts to rewrite history and wage economic warfare against the Jewish State, the United States stands with Israel.\" \"I look forward to working with the Administration as it facilitates our embassy\u2019s historic move and hope to soon visit our new Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel\u2019s eternal and undivided capital.\u201d\n###", 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://roskam.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-roskam-releases-statement-jerusalem-announcement"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0354090481996536, "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"}
