Key Republican lawmakers were in Jerusalem Monday to witness the opening of the new U.S. Embassy there, an event that continued to draw criticism against the U.S. and President Trump.
Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Dean Heller of Nevada, and Mike Lee of Utah, as well as Florida Gov. Rick Scott, were all spotted in Jerusalem ahead of the ceremony that will officially mark the embassy’s move from Tel Aviv, Israel.
The dedication ceremony will take place 9 a.m. Eastern Time and the congressional delegation includes the four Republican senators and 10 Republicans members of the House, Axios reported.
Top Trump aide Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were also there.
The only two people included in the front row of Thursday’s events leading up to the dedication ceremony who are not in government were Republican megadonors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson.
