State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell confirmed that "the U.S. government supports" the guiding principle to "recognize descendants of refugees as refugees."

Does this apply to all refugees, e.g. jewish refugees descendants from europe and arab nations? What would be the implications regarding continuing liability to jewish refugees?
