The Intertent said that the Israeli parliament voted in favor of the inclusion of the West Bank, and this gives an official dye to the apartheid system that it practiced, so the reaction was different between Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
The site pointed out that Israel, despite the preference of America – its strongest ally and its provision with weapons – a two -state solution, chose to vote by an overwhelming majority for a symbolic action that is not obligated to include the occupied West Bank, calling for the application of “sovereignty, law, judiciary and Israeli administration to all areas of Jewish settlement of various types in Judaism, Samaria (the West Bank) and the Jordan Valley”.
The reaction between the Republicans and Democrats in the Congress was characterized by contrast, as some Democrats condemned this step, while some of the strongest American defenders of Israel did not pay attention to, and Democratic Senator John Vitman, who made the defense of Israel an essential part of his political career, said that I was not following him closely. “
4 Democrats in the Senate and Representatives Council condemned the decision, and others said that they were not following the issue, despite the contradiction of the West Bank with the official political goal of the United States represented in two states, one for the Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and one for Israel on its borders before 1967.
The site reminded that the two -state solution had official support from successive presidents since the late 1990s, with the exception of the current President Donald Trump, yet the successive democratic and republican administrations undermined the possibility of the two countries to arm Israel in light of its continued attacking the Palestinian people and seizing their lands.
The administration of President Joe Biden continued policies contradicting with his claim to pay attention to the two -state solution, such as keeping the American embassy in occupied Jerusalem, while Trump climbed his efforts to thwart the possibility of a sovereign Palestinian state, and called for the transfer of Palestinians from Gaza and the transformation of the region to a luxury resort.
Criticism
With public opinion against Israel and the increasing opposition of American voters to the genocide committed by the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Gaza, some members of Congress became more prepared to criticize the Israeli regime.
The reaction of Democrat Vitman was completely contradictory to the reaction of the other four Democratic Congress members – according to the site – Democrat Mark Tacano said, “The Knesset vote on the inclusion of the West Bank is symbolic is not just a recklessness, but rather a betrayal of the values that has always strengthened America’s support for Israel.” He added: “The two negotiated state solution is the only way to achieve permanent peace and real security for each of the Israelis. And the Palestinians. This vote rejects this path.
It is time for the United States to respond to the policies of Netanyahu’s racist and reactionary government, as Israel is now under the management of right -wing extremists in Gaza, hunning children and shoots people who are lining up for food
Senator Bernie Sanders stated that it is time for the United States to respond to the policies of the Netanyahu government “racist and reactionary”, and said, “Israel is now under the management of right -wing extremists in Gaza, hunning children and shooting people who line up to get food, and now in the West Bank, we have witnessed reprisals.”
“This will harm Israel in the long run,” Kain said, because the Arab countries that want to be peace partners with Israel need a future for Palestine, as the Palestinians have prepared in the United Nations resolution 1947, and they are not ready to achieve regional peace unless Israel agrees to that. “
The site concluded by the saying of Democratic Deputy Delia Ramirez said that “the ultimate goal for Netanyahu and his administration was always annexation and control,” adding, “We must put an end to the collusion of the United States with the Netanyahu terrorist administration system. Congress must play its supervisory role, demand an end to the siege, and pass the law” prohibit bombs. “
