U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today joined with Sens. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to introduce a resolution urging the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the relocation of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

"I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing this resolution," Sen. Cruz said. "It is time for the United States to implement a law that Congress passed more than two decades ago, formally recognize Jerusalem as the eternal and undivided capital of Israel, and move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem."
