,blackburn1 and ,mr4 ,boozman7 submitted
 the following concurrent resolution2   
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,foreign ,relations  ,,concurrent       
,,resolution  ,to express the sense of  
,congress in opposition to the          
establishment of a new ,palestinian     
consulate or diplomatic mission in      
,jerusalem4  ,whereas the ,united       
,states recognizes sovereign nations'   
authority to designate their own        
capitals2 ,whereas ,jerusalem has served
 as the diplomatic capital of ,israel   
for decades and has remained the        
cultural center of ,israel and of the   
,jewish people for millennia2 ,whereas  
large1 bipartisan supermajorities in the

 ,senate and the ,house of              
,representatives voted for the          
,jerusalem ,embassy ,act of #aiie       
7,public ,law #ajd-de71 which states1 as
 the policy of the ,united ,states--    
7#a7 ,jerusalem should remain an        
undivided city2  7#b7 ,jerusalem should 
be recognized as the capital of the     
,state of ,israel2 and  7#c7 the ,united
 ,states ,embassy in ,israel should be  
established in ,jerusalem2 ,whereas1 in 
#bjah1 the ,trump administration        
relocated the ,united ,states ,embassy  
in ,israel to ,jerusalem in accordance  
with the ,jerusalem ,embassy ,act of    
#aiie2 ,whereas the ,biden              
administration's plan to open a         
,palestinian consulate in ,jerusalem    
could be viewed as a challenge to-- 7#a7
 ,israel's sovereignty over ,jerusalem2 
and  7#b7 ,jerusalem's status as an     
undivided city2 ,whereas such plan has  
received bipartisan criticism among     
members of the ,government of the       
,united ,states and the ,government of  

,israel2 ,whereas the ,united ,states   
,embassy in ,jerusalem's ,palestinian   
,affairs ,unit already manages1 in a    
timely and effective manner1 the        
proposed responsibilities of the ,biden 
administration's planned ,palestinian   
consulate in ,jerusalem2 and ,whereas   
the opening and maintenance of a new and
 unnecessary consulate in ,jerusalem    
would require a substantial expenditure 
of ,american taxpayer funds3 ,now1      
therefore1 be it ,that it is the sense  
of ,congress that-- 7#a7 ,congress      
opposes the establishment of a new      
,palestinian consulate in ,jerusalem2   
7#b7 establishing such a consulate would
 violate the intent of the ,jerusalem   
,embassy ,act of #aiie2  7#c7 any       
establishment of a new consulate or     
diplomatic mission in ,jerusalem should 
not move forward without congressional  
approval through the passage of new     
legislation2 and  7#d7 the presence of a
 ,united ,states diplomatic mission     
devoted to a non-state actor in         

,israel's sovereign capital would be an 
affront to the territorial integrity of 
a long-standing ,united ,states partner 
and ally4
