Senate Democrats Endorse Two-State Solution to Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The move, supported by all but two Democrats, contradicts Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's rejection of a Palestinian state.

  • Senate Democrats, with the exception of Senators Joe Manchin and John Fetterman, have signed an amendment endorsing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
  • The amendment, sponsored by Senator Brian Schatz, reaffirms U.S. support for a Palestinian state and Israel's survival as a secure, democratic and Jewish state.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the idea of a Palestinian state, arguing it would compromise Israel's security.
  • President Biden continues to advocate for a two-state solution, despite Netanyahu's opposition.
  • 44 House Democrats have also expressed support for a two-state solution in a letter to President Biden.
