Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) slammed Obama's decision to reopen the U.S. embassy in Cuba, suggesting that it was a "slap in the face" to Israel.

The administration announced on Wednesday that it has told lawmakers that a deal has been reached to re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba and reopen embassies.

Cruz, who is running for president, called Obama's announcement "unacceptable and a slap in the face of a close ally that the United States will have an embassy in Havana before one in Jerusalem."

For Israel Jerusalem is its capital. Always has been. Its where the central govt is located.

If the past is an issue for obama then Sen Cruz is right in pointing out obama’s hypocrisy.

Actually, I am ashamed I never thought of that.

Of course, this administration is anti-Israel so I cannot say I am surprised.
