Politico reports that the Senate voted 90-0 on a resolution recognizing the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem's reunification after the Six Day War. The measure "calls upon the president and all United States officials to abide by" a law from 1995 that urged then-President Bill Clinton to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

Since then, Republican and Democratic presidents have signed six-month waivers that delay the embassy move in hopes of brokering a successful peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians first. President Trump signed the delay waiver Thursday, but Sean Spicer quickly assured the American people that the deal is still on the table.
