A group of 15 Jewish House Democrats say they strongly disagree with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stand against a Palestinian state.
The Hill reported that a two-sentence statement, issued Friday by the Democrats, said: "We strongly disagree with the Prime Minister. A two-state solution is the path forward."
The statement was endorsed by the lawmakers, including Reps. Jerry Nadler of New York, the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee; Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the senior Democrat on the Oversight and Accountability panel; Adam Schiff of California, the former chair of the Intelligence Committee; and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.
Netanyahu rejected a Saudi offer to normalize relations in exchange for a Palestinian state, NBC News reported on Wednesday, according to a report by the Jewish News Syndicate staff.
Biden administration officials have been pushing Palestinian statehood as part of a key requirement for regional peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors after the war in Gaza ends, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan hammering this point this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, according to the outlet.
