Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement regarding President Trump’s formal recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel: “My strong support for the 1995 law was based on the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel with a waiver available to promote a two-state solution as the basis for permanent peace with security for Israel. Moving the U.S. embassy to the holy city of Jerusalem was assumed to promote a comprehensive peace agreement, not undermine the prospects for peace. Today’s announcement by President Trump may make such a durable peace harder to achieve by inflaming tensions, so it is vital that the U.S. right now take every feasible step to help move all parties toward negotiating a two-state solution.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
