Torres (D-NY-15) 01/20/2023: Twitter thread – “I support the @StateDept as it proceeds to build an embassy where it belongs, in a country's capital. Israel should be no exception. Siting an embassy in Jerusalem means complying with a decades-old law whose implementation is long overdue: the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995. The sitting of an embassy in Jerusalem in no way forecloses the possibility of a two state solution, which remains the best path forward for both Israelis and Palestinians.”
