Senate Democrats unite behind two-state solution following Netanyahu remarks

Nearly every Senate Democrat joined forces on Wednesday to co-sponsor a proposed amendment to the defense supplemental spending bill declaring U.S. support for a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians.

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) offered the amendment, which reiterates that U.S. policy favors a two-state solution, along with 48 of his Democratic colleagues in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing his opposition to the approach.
