A growing number of Senate Democrats, now totaling 19, are expressing concern over President Joe Biden's strategy towards Israel and are urging a 'bold' U.S. push towards the recognition of a Palestinian state. A letter led by Senator Carper, signed by 18 colleagues, calls on the President to establish a public framework for the U.S. to recognize a nonmilitarized Palestinian state, emphasizing the urgency due to the severity of the crisis in the Middle East. This move represents a significant shift from long-standing U.S. policy and aims to reinvigorate the peace process. The effort is part of a broader push by Senate Democrats, including Senator Baldwin, against the backdrop of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled address to Senate Republicans.

For too long, the U.S. government has paid lip service to a two-state solution. It's time to put those words into action. I'm joining @SenatorCarper and my colleagues in urging the Biden Administration to establish a framework to recognize a nonmilitarized Palestinian state. https://t.co/euzBMJOyQS

Today, I’m leading 18 of my colleagues on a letter to @POTUS, urging him to establish a bold, public framework for the U.S. to recognize a nonmilitarized Palestinian state. The severity of the crisis in the Middle East requires that U.S. leadership moves beyond facilitation.
