[New York Sun] Eli Lake - The U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday passed without opposition a resolution calling on President Bush to move America's embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and adhere to the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act. The resolution marked the 40th anniversary of the Six-Day War, and passed the House just four days after the White House exercised - for the 14th time - the Jerusalem Embassy Act waiver, which allows the president to ignore Congress. Since the act's passage, Presidents Clinton and Bush have exercised the waiver every six months. The new resolution "commends Israel for its administration of the undivided city for the past 40 years, during which Israel has respected the rights of all religious groups." It also urges Arabs and Palestinian Arabs to take steps to seek peace. The resolution is a reminder to the Arab world that even the Democratic-controlled Congress, which has endorsed timetables for America's withdrawal from Iraq, is on the Jewish state's side in the conflict in the Middle East. A similar resolution is expected to pass the Senate this week. 2007-06-06 01:00:00Full Article
