'US knew about Jerusalem law for months - and said nothing'

Minister Yisrael, Katz, who was behind the "Greater Jerusalem Law," told NRG that he was surprised by US pressure to shelve the law, noting that top officials knew of the plan months ago.

“The Americans have known about the law for months. I spoke about it in depth with [Trump envoy Jason] Greenblatt and [US Ambassador to Israel David] Friedman, and they never expressed any opposition.”
