1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the State of Israel Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) For more than 3,000 years, the Jewish people have maintained a continuous connection and presence in the land of Israel and their eternal and indivisible capital city of Jerusalem. (2) The State of Israel was established on May 14, 1948, in the wake of World War II in order to serve as a homeland and place of refuge for the Jewish people. (3) From 1948 to 1967, Jerusalem was a divided city and not all Israeli citizens of all faiths were entitled to visit the holy sites, and Jews from other countries were restricted in their access to holy sites in the area controlled by Jordan. In 1967, the city of Jerusalem was reunited during the conflict known as the Six Day War, and since 1967, Jerusalem has been a unified city administered by Israel, and persons of all faiths have been guaranteed full access to the holy sites within the city. (4) On July 31, 1988, Jordan relinquished its disputed sovereignty claims to Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem, and therefore sovereign claims to these areas remain disputed , not occupied . (5) In 1990, Congress unanimously adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 106, which declares that Congress strongly believes that Jerusalem must remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic religious group are protected . (6) In 1995, Congress overwhelmingly approved the Jerusalem Embassy Act ( Public Law 104–45 ), requiring the establishment of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem not later than May 31, 1999. (7) The United States maintains its embassy in the functioning capital in every country except in the State of Israel. (8) Israel has far exceeded the 1907 Hague Regulation as directed by international law. Israel has taken all measures to restore and ensure public order and safety in Jerusalem. (9) Jerusalem has been far safer and more protected under Israel’s administration than under any previous authorities. (10)
