Senator Coons Affirms Democratic Support for Two-State Solution Pending Palestinian Self-Governance Recognition

Senator Coons emphasizes that the Democratic Party is united in supporting a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, contingent upon Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledging Palestinians' right to self-governance. He highlights the importance of aligning strong support for Israel's security with ongoing humanitarian efforts. Coons notes that achieving mutual recognition between Israel and Saudi Arabia could facilitate peace, but this hinges on Netanyahu's willingness to recognize Palestinian self-determination. While expressing concerns over recent actions by Netanyahu's government in the West Bank and Gaza, he affirms a shared vision among Democrats for a peaceful coexistence in the region.
