Twenty-two years ago, President Clinton signed into law a statute, passed with bipartisan support, that declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Even so, Israel was the only country in the world whose capital the State Department refused to recognize. Today's decision corrects this glaring discrepancy, and I'm glad to see President Trump right this wrong." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
