Romney Campaign Press Release - House Majority Leader Cantor: We Need That A Leader Stands With Israel
July 27, 2012
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor today made the following statement on the Obama administration's refusal to say whether Jerusalem is the capital of Israel:
"For thousands of years, Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of the Jewish people, but this Administration refuses to say if Jerusalem is the true capital. At a moment when Israel is facing so many perils, the United States should be standing by our ally, not quibbling or quarreling about its capital city."
