1/13/15, "Cruz: Move America's Embassy to Israel's Capital, Jerusalem," Weekly Standard, D. Halper
"Ted Cruz released this statement in favor of moving the U.S. embassy
in Israel from Tel Aviv to that nation's capital, Jerusalem:
"I
am proud to join Senator Dean Heller, R-Nevada, in the introduction of
the Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act of 2015 that recognizes
Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel and relocates
the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This bill removes the
President's waiver authority that has delayed this important action, and
requires official government documents to reflect this recognition by
identifying Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"Almost fifteen years
ago Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 with overwhelming
bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate. It is my hope that
members of Congress on both sides of the aisle support this important
bill. It is long past due for our government to finally and
unequivocally recognize Israel's historical capital both in word and
deed."" via Free Rep.
