Washington, D.C., Nov. 08, 2017 -- Today Ambassador John Bolton will testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s Subcommittee on National Security to make the case for the United States to move its Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, officially recognizing the city as Israel’s capital. The Ambassador’s testimony will begin at 10am EST in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.

Below is an excerpt from Ambassador Bolton’s testimony:
“I believe that recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city and relocating our Embassy there on incontestably Israeli sovereign territory would be sensible, prudent, and efficient for the United States government. Indeed, fully regularizing the American diplomatic presence in Israel will benefit both countries, which is why, worldwide, the U.S. Embassy in virtually every other country we recognize is in the host country’s capital city.”
The Ambassador goes on to say:
“Relocating the Embassy would not adversely affect negotiations over Jerusalem’s final status or the broader Middle East peace process, nor would it impair our diplomatic relations among predominantly Arab or Muslim nations. In fact, by its honest recognition of reality, shifting the Embassy would have an overall positive impact on U.S. diplomatic efforts.”
