flag Senate Democrats urge U.S. to recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state and push for peace.

flag A group of Senate Democrats, led by Jeff Merkley, introduced a non-binding resolution calling for U.S. recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel, marking the first such effort in Senate history. flag The resolution demands an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, an end to settlement expansion, and increased aid to Gaza. flag While unlikely to pass in the Republican-majority Senate, supporters say it underscores growing pressure on the U.S. to act, aligns with global consensus—over 140 UN members already recognize Palestine—and aims to advance a two-state solution amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
