US House passes resolution supporting two-state solution


(Worthy News) – The US House of Representatives approved on Friday a resolution expressing support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while also warning Israel against any attempts toward annexation of territory in the West Bank.

The resolution was non-binding and was an expression of disapproval aimed at the Trump administration’s reversal of US policy regarding the legality of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The resolution passed 226-188, and split according to party, with most Democrats voting in favor, and most Republicans opposed.

“For more than 20 years, American presidents from both political parties and Israeli prime ministers have supported reaching a two-state solution that establishes a democratic Palestinian state to coexist peacefully and constructively side-by-side with a democratic Israel,” said Jewish Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, from Maryland’s 8th congressional district. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
