Note that Rep. Trent Franks introduced legislation in the House (H.R. 257) that would specifically recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital. “President Trump is right to proclaim Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Israel is America’s most cherished ally in the world, and it is time the world understands there is no space between us. The president’s 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’s sovereignty in Jerusalem by moving the U.S. embassy there as soon as possible.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
