"Senate Democrats Show Strong Support for Two-State Solution in Israel-Palestine Conflict"

Senate Democrats have introduced a measure endorsing the creation of a Palestinian state, with all but two members of their conference backing the proposal. The amendment reaffirms U.S. support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected U.S. calls for a Palestinian state. The measure is supported by senators from every ideological wing of the Senate Democratic conference, but centrist Sen. Joe Manchin and vocal Israel supporter Sen. John Fetterman have not signed on, citing the need for specific conditions, including the recognition of Israel's right to exist and the destruction of Hamas, as preconditions for peace.
