US Senate approves amendment to keep embassy in Jerusalem
2021-02-05
[JP] The three opposing votes were Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and Tom Carper of Delaware.
Spit and mumble. Spit again.
The United States Senate voted 97-3 late Thursday to support an amendment to the COVID-19 budget resolution that affirmed the country's intention to keep its embassy in Jerusalem.

It was put forward by Republican Senators Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee.

Inhofe tweeted that the amendment "would make the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem permanent, effectively preventing it from being downgraded or moved. It's an important message that we acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."

#2  President Trump sold the American embassy property in Tel Aviv a few months ago, so President Biden would have to organize building a new one somewhere else after he got permission from Israel’s government. That bridge is burned.

#1  Lefties who expect that there will be no trace of Trump's tenure left after a couple years of Bidet* are going to be disappointed. Which makes me smile.
