US Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna’s effort to gather support for recognising a Palestinian state is now being supported by 13 House Democrats, Middle East Eye reports.
In a letter to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mark Rubio, which was obtained by both the Jewish Insider and Axios last week, the Democratic lawmakers have urged the government to follow in the footsteps of 147 countries that have already recognised a Palestinian state, saying the US should not “be isolated from the rest of the free world”.
