Ron DeSantis (FL-06), Chairman of the National Security Subcommittee, has introduced the Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the State of Israel Act as the United Nations holds an emergency session to condemn President Donald Trumps recognition of Jerusalem as Israels eternal capital. Instead of addressing ongoing international conflicts and working to uphold human rights, the United Nations is holding an emergency session in order to indulge its pathological anti-Israel bias, DeSantis said. I am proud to stand by our friends in Israel and to follow up on President Trumps historic recognition of Jerusalem as Israels eternal capital by introducing the Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the State of Israel Act. For decades, the United States has worked hand in hand with our allies at the UN to provide hundreds of millions in foreign aid, but as President Trump said yesterday, werenot going to be taken advantage of any longer. Congress should take this vote into consideration as we determine which allies are deserving of our generous foreign aid. The Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the State of Israel Act states that it is U.S. policy to recognizeJerusalemas the undivided capital of Israel and expresses the sense of Congress that the President shall relocate the U.S. Embassy in Israel toJerusalem by January 1, 2019.

Martha McSally, Lee Zeldin, Mark Meadows, Blake Farenthold, Luke Messer, Robert Pittenger, Jody Hice, Claudia Tenney, Todd Rokita, Jackie Walorski, Jeff Duncan, Andy Harris, Bill Johnson, Doug Lamborn, Vicky Hartzler, Dan Donovan, Louie Gohmert, Brad Wenstrup, Steve King, Keith J. Rothfus, Tom McClintock, Jim Jordan, Roger Williams, Adrian Smith, Matt Gaetz, Drew Ferguson, Paul A. Gosar, Ted Yoho. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
