The incredible discoveries unearthed in archaeological excavations throughout the City of David affirm the millennia-old connection of the Jewish people to Jerusalem, Ros-Lehtinen said. 

Congresswoman Illeana Ros-Lehtinen (R, FL) told the House of Representatives about her recent visit to the City of David archaeological site in Jerusalem.

“I can think of no better place than the City of David to express that the United States knows what the Jewish people have known for 3,000 years, namely, that Jerusalem is the historic capital of Israel,” she stated.

“This historic bond is most evidenced by the incredible discoveries unearthed in archaeological excavations throughout the City of David affirming the millennia-old connection of the Jewish people to Jerusalem, not as a matter of faith, but as a matter of historical fact,” she said.
