I am grateful to President Donald Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley--South Carolina's former Governor--for the announcement that the United States will recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel and relocate the American Embassy to the holy city which protects all religions. As President Trump said at the White House: ``This long overdue recognition of reality is in the best interests of both the United States and the pursuit of peace between Israel and the Palestinians.'' America's bond with Israel is unique, and its strength is the foundation for peace through stability for all of the Middle East providing for prosperity for all countries. The President's announcement strengthens that alliance, and I appreciate his honoring another of his campaign commitments. Friends of Israel know they have a true friend in the White House, which was heartfelt when I met last month with Sheldon and Miriam Adelson at the Washington Convention Center. President Trump's team is leading boldly. The President is clear: peace is never beyond the grasp of those willing to reach for it. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism, just as America had resolved December the 7th, 1941. ____________________
