POINTS FOR EMPHASIS
– Just as the United States locates its embassy in the duly designated capitals of other nations, so too it should locate our embassy to Israel in that nation’s recognized capital.
– This legislation urges the Administration not to invoke the Waiver contained in the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, and immediately begin to implement the provisions of the act
– The House Bill asserts that Jerusalem must remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected as they have been by Israel during the past 40 years.
