White House Forgets that it Doesn’t Think Jerusalem is in Israel
Friday, September 30, 2016 19:11
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The White House today accidentally did something pro-Israel by inadvertently sending out a transcript of President Obama’s Shimon Peres eulogy which listed Jerusalem as part of Israel.
It was forced to send out this correction.
White House policy is that Jerusalem belongs neither to the Palestinians nor the Israelis, and our embassy is in Tel Aviv. To be fair, George W. Bush maintained the same policy. Congress passed legislation in 1995 calling for the embassy to be moved to Jerusalem, but the president uses waiver authority to block it every year.
