House Democrats sign on to letter urging Trump to recognise Palestinian statehood | Democrats
More than a dozen democratic congress member signed a letter that called Trump administration to recognize the Palestinian state in a draft copy shared with Guardian.
Congress Member of Congress Ro Khanna from California, chairman and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, directed the letter to Greg Casar from Texas, Pramila Jayapal from Washington and Maxwell Frost from Florida.
“This tragic moment emphasized a long -time delayed need for the world to recognize Palestine’s self -determination for the world. “Just as the lives of Palestinians should be protected immediately, their rights should be accepted and approved as a nation and a nation.”
The letter comes from human rights experts on the developing famine in Gaza, and because of some key Western allies of Israel, including Israel’s France and Canada, recently promised to recognize a Palestinian state in the UN general assembly.
Although the UK could not accept a ceasefire until September, Israel made a similar promise.
The letter of the Democrats adds that a applicable Palestinian state will adopt a framework to fully recognize Israel and to adopt a framework to guarantee the security of Israel, and that Hamas will adopt a framework, including the disarmament and abandonment of power to adopt a wide range of nations. A similar framework was proposed last month by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Khanna’s office said that the letter would be sent after 16 September and will coincide with the UN General Assembly as of 8-23 September this year.
Khanna told Guardian to the Guardian, “This is the moment of the US officially recognizing a Palestinian state,” he said. The authority added that he only started his “this week” social assistance, but described the response as “overwhelming”.
However, the Trump administration has made it clear that it did not agree with the increasing list of countries that agreed to recognize a Palestinian state. Last week, the White House briefing, the press secretary Karoline Leavitt, said that the President of the President ultimately saw the state as a “rewarding”.
Steve Witkoff, the Middle East ambassador of the administration, went to Gaza last week to evaluate the conditions of aid on the ground, and Trump told journalists on Sunday, the United States said that the United States “put money to feed people”.
However, in recent weeks, there have been several cracks in unconditional support for Israel, including Republicans. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia, a Maga Stalwart, described the human crisis in Gaza as “genocide .. In a shipment in x last weekGOP’un Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military campaign broke out of the fiery support.
While the sales of US weapons to Israel shortened last week, a record number of democratic senators voted in favor of two decisions to stop the sale of aggressive weapons to Israel.
