The US Supreme Court has overturned legislation passed in 2002, which allowed US citizens born in Jerusalem to enter their country of birth as Israel.
The court said Congress went “too far” in passing the law. The law went against the policy of the State Department, which does not list Israel as the place of birth for Jerusalem-born Americans.
The law was not enforced by then-president George Bush or President Barack Obama.
A Jerusalem-born US citizen had filed a lawsuit, wanting his passport to say he was born in Israel.
Jerusalem, a city contested for over 2000 years, is claimed by Palestinians and Israelis as their capital city.
