First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used back-to-back speeches to Jewish groups to reiterate her support for Jerusalem as Israel’s “eternal and indivisible capital.” She also called on Congress to “make good on the promises the president made at Wye River” to provide billions of dollars in U.S. aid to Israel, the Palestinians and Jordan. Speaking to Hadassah after addressing the National Jewish Democratic Council, Clinton said Tuesday, “We must do everything in our power to facilitate, not dictate, the peace process.”
