The Biden administration remains committed to re-opening a U.S. consulate in Jerusalem and is continuing to discuss the issue with Israelis and Palestinians, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Tuesday.

Israel has publicly opposed the plan to re-open the consulate that serves Palestinians after former President Donald Trump closed it and moved Washington's embassy to the city in 2018.
