Tell Congress to draw a red line against West Bank annexation
Tell your representative:
As your constituent and a supporter of J Street, I am calling on you to cosponsor House Resolution 326: "Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding United States efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a negotiated two-state solution."
A two-state solution is the only way to secure Israel’s future as a Jewish, democratic homeland and to fulfill the Palestinians’ aspirations for self-determination. H.Res. 326 makes it clear Congress continues to support efforts to achieve a two-state solution and against unilateral annexation of the West Bank.
Background
Right now, the future of an Israeli/Palestinian peace agreement -- which would provide security to Israel and self-determination to Palestinians -- is under threat like never before.
In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to commence annexation of the West Bank in his next term as Prime Minister, a declaration the Trump administration refuses to speak out against.
In the United States, Trump administration officials -- including Jared Kushner -- have openly rejected statehood for Palestinians and are on the brink of proposing a ‘peace plan’ which is likely designed to entrench perpetual occupation of the West Bank.
House Resolution 326 would draw a red line against these disastrous moves. The resolution -- introduced by Reps. Lowenthal, Bass and Connolly -- makes it clear that Congress opposes any action by the White House to encourage unilateral annexation of the West Bank or other steps which undermine the prospects of a two-state solution.
