U.S. on Nationality Law: We believe in equality of all persons

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert was asked on Tuesday about the Nationality Law which was approved by the Knesset last week.

“We are certain aware of that new law. I’d have to refer you to the Government of Israel for the specifics of that law and their position on that, but I can tell you as a general matter and as it pertains to this that we believe in equality of all persons before the law,” she said.
