The America Israel Public Affairs Committee has welcomed the veto cast by the United States today at the United Nations Security Council of a proposed resolution objecting to American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
A statement by the lobby said, "We deeply appreciate President Trump and his administration's courageous stance on this issue." It concluded, "Instead of considering counterproductive and biased resolutions seeking to condemn America for accepting Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the United Nations should urge Palestinians to return to the negotiating table with Israel. That is the path to peace."
