US Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) spoke to an Israeli delegation this week about congressional support of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz lamented that under Obama, the US will open an embassy not in Jerusalem, but in the capital of a Communist country whose leader 'hates America.'

A number of US congressmen, including Republicans and Democrats, are calling on President Barack Obama to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
