Court weighs US passport dispute over Jerusalem
None
A federal appeals court has some tough questions about the politically sensitive issue of whether Americans born in Jerusalem can list Israel as their birthplace on their US passports.
A 2002 law says yes, but the State Department says no. That led to a lawsuit by parents of an American boy who was born in a Jerusalem hospital. The United States has refused to recognize any nation's sovereignty over Jerusalem since Israel's creation in 1948, so the boy's passport only says "Jerusalem" as his birthplace. (AP)
