I’m so incredibly proud of this legacy I left jointly with @RepEliotEngel, to remember Jewish history. Thanks also to Jason Steinbaum from @HouseForeign for support & Israeli diplomat @Eyal_Naor who helped in translation. Also thanks to President Thaçi who endorsed location/idea.
President @VjosaOsmaniPRKS Osmani & I went to Kosovo’s Holocaust Memorial, which reads: “This is the place where the last synagogue of Kosovo stood until 1963. This plaque is raised in memory of Kosovo Jews…perished…during Holocaust. People of Kosovo will never forget them”

Israel was right to recognize Kosovo, and I’m glad Prishtina put its embassy in Jerusalem. However, I’m deeply disappointed that President Vucic is willing to undermine relations with Israel just to chastise it for improving ties with Kosovo.

Serbia's President has expressed doubts about moving the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, saying the country's interests 'have changed since Israel recognised Kosovo'.

10 years ago, the United States delivered justice to Osama bin Laden who was responsible for murdering thousands of men, women, and children. We will never forget that bright September day that became one of the darkest in our history.

Thank you President Biden and the United States Congress for delivering critical assistance to the American people and helping the country recover from the pandemic.
Before I took office, I promised you that help was on the way. Today, I signed the American Rescue Plan into law, and can officially say: help is here.

Chair @RepEliotEngel releases report refuting @SecPompeo’s smears against former State Dept IG. Charges against Steve Linick “were nothing more than an ugly smear meant to tarnish a good man’s reputation & justify the...firing of an independent watchdog.” https://t.co/jAa0HBaDOW
