In Show of support for ’Israel’, US Congress Passes Resolution to Move Embassy to Occupied al-Quds

Local Editor

In show of support for the Zionist entity, the US Senate on Monday passed a resolution celebrating occupied al-Quds [Jerusalem] as Israel's so-called "undivided" capital and calling on the Trump administration to move the US embassy there.

The non-binding Senate measure was introduced by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the chamber's top-ranking Democrat, and passed with overwhelming bipartisan support with a final vote of 90-0.

In passing the resolution, the Senate reaffirmed its support for the al-Quds [Jerusalem] Embassy Act of 1995, which compels the US State Department to relocate its embassy in the ‘Israeli'-occupied entity from Tel Aviv to the ancient city.

"It is very fitting that the Senate passed this resolution 50 years to the day of the start of the Six Day War," Schumer said in a statement.

The Congress will mark the occasion with a formal Capitol Hill event on Tuesday co-hosted by the Knesset.
