In recent developments, a significant number of U.S. House members have taken action regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Over three dozen House Democrats have criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's rejection of a Palestinian state and have written to President Biden to outline a strategy for a two-state solution as the only viable path for a sustainable peace. They also called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. Concurrently, a bipartisan group of 210 members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, expressing their disgust at South Africa's genocide suit against Israel in the International Court of Justice. They denounced South Africa's charges as deeply hostile and rejected the accusation of genocide. Additionally, a group of 56 House members urged the State Department to oppose the forced transfer of Palestinians from Gaza and to increase humanitarian aid to the region.

The extremist rhetoric calling for the forced transfer of Palestinians out of Gaza is unacceptable & why I joined a letter urging the U.S. to articulate our clear rejection of these hateful ideas. I will also continue to reiterate my call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. https://t.co/UWIodvm1zF
