Rep. Lee Zeldin called the idea “flawed policy” that is a slap in the face to America’s strongest ally and empowers bad actors in the region. 

After telling an Israeli outlet the U.S. doesn't plan on reopening the Palestinians' de-facto consulate in Jerusalem, the White House press secretary delivered a different message to Americans.

Visiting a Palestinian hospital on the Mt. of Olives unaccompanied by Israeli officials would undermine Israeli sovereignty.

The secretary of state also reiterated the administration’s commitment to reopening the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem.

'We want an American address that will ... express the recognition that Jerusalem is occupied Arab land.'

Former US Ambassador David Friedman explains why opening a Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem goes against American - and Israeli - law and is 'bad policy.'

According to a former Palestinian negotiator, it’s 'a game of chicken. It boils down to: Does Israel want to make this into a crisis?'

Watch and hear the lies disseminated by the PA - and, unfortunately, accepted by so many Westerners.

“If the Americans want to open a consulate in Ramallah, we have no problem with that.” However, Lapid insisted, “sovereignty in Jerusalem belongs to one country — Israel.”

Bill backed by 33 Republican lawmakers is viewed as unlikely to pass.

Urge the Biden administration to give up on the idea of reopening the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, which would be a de-facto Palestinian embassy in the Israeli capital.

It's not clear how U.S. could legally reopen controversial consulate without Israeli consent.

The US Jerusalem Embassy Act stresses the unity and indivisibility of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Reopening consulate would 'send the wrong message' and also 'destabilize' government.
