Wasserman Schultz on Recognition of Jerusalem as Capital of Israel

(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement after the Trump Administration formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel:

“My longstanding view is that Jerusalem is and will remain the undivided capital of Israel, and it should remain a city accessible to people of all faiths. I strongly believe that we must continue to work toward a two state solution that achieves two states for two peoples. We must work toward a day where the entire world recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and that can be achieved through final status negotiations. I remain as committed as ever to safeguarding Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state, at peace with its neighbors, with Jerusalem as its undisputed capital.”
