U.S. Says Biden's Eastern Jerusalem Visit Not Meant as Political Statement
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - President Biden's visit to eastern Jerusalem, without Israeli accompaniment or an Israeli flag on his car, was not meant to send a political message about the status of Jerusalem, U.S. Ambassador Tom Nides said on Monday. "The capital of Israel is Jerusalem. The president said it, I said it, it is the position of the U.S." Biden's visit to the Augusta Victoria Hospital in Jerusalem on Friday was "a healthcare event....It had nothing to do with the status of Jerusalem....Those who want to make it political, that's their problem. It was about giving money to these hospitals."
