From Washington Examiner: Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) began circulating a draft letter among House Democrats asking the Trump administration to make the United States join other nations in recognizing a Palestinian state.
The Democratic-led effort comes after France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Malta have all recently announced their intentions to recognize Palestinian statehood amid the Israel-Hamas war. Khanna hopes the U.S. will also do so.
The letter, addressed to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, says:
“We therefore welcome French President Emmaunuel [sic] Macron’s announcement that, in addition to continuing to press for a ceasefire, release of the hostages and a massive humanitarian aid effort in Gaza, France will officially recognize Palestinian statehood in September.”
“We encourage the governments of other countries that have yet to recognize Palestinian statehood, including the United States, to do so as well,” it added.
The letter was leaked to Jewish Insider.
Someone leaked our effort to try to sabotage it. Sad. It won't work.
Recognizing a Palestinian state is an idea whose time has come. The response of my colleagues has been overwhelming. We will build support and release prior to the UN convening. https://t.co/7K6j6mdKUy
