Ezra Schwartz's body was buried in the United States. But the way his family sees it, his soul remains in Israel.
"The goal was to come and see the places that Ezra was, where he hung out, what he enjoyed, how he spent his time with his friends, as a way to feel closer to him. He was here for two-and-a-half months and we weren't with him," said Ezra's mother Ruth Schwartz on Dec. 30, just before she and her family members planted trees at Israel's Yad Kennedy memorial in honor of their son and brother.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The GOP-led House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday approved legislation that would give Congress greater oversight of the landmark nuclear deal with Iran.
Passage of the bill comes as the United States is poised to begin lifting sanctions against Iran, possibly as early as this month, as Tehran fulfills its obligations under the July 14 agreement.
