"The Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer of New York, described the new order as a 'watered-down ban' that was still 'meanspirited and un-American.'
"Margaret Huang, the executive director of Amnesty International USA, said in a statement that the new order would 'cause extreme fear and uncertainty for thousands of families by, once again, putting anti-Muslim hatred into policy.'"
Also this week, the ties between the two governments now running Israel and the U.S., were strengthened even more when "the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted on Thursday to approve the nomination of David Friedman (above left), a vocal supporter of Israeli settlements and a longtime associate of U.S. President Donald Trump, as the next U.S. ambassador to Israel. Eleven Republican senators voted for Friedman, joined by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) who broke ranks with fellow Democrats, all remaining nine of whom voted against the nomination."
The vote of the full Senate on David Friedman is expected to reach the floor next week.
