Prohibits the United States from operating a U.S. consulate or diplomatic facility in Jerusalem unless it is under the supervision of the U.S. Ambassador to Israel. Requires any official U.S. government document which lists countries and their capital cities to identify Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
