House approves two-state resolution in implicit rebuke of Trump
By Laura Kelly - 12/06/19 01:30 PM EST

The House on Friday approved a resolution supporting a two-state solution to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict, recording opposition to any peace plan put forth by the Trump administration that doesn’t expressly call for an independent Palestinian state living side-by-side with a Jewish state of Israel.

Only 5 Republicans backed the measure in the 226-183 vote, though 11 GOP lawmakers had joined a bipartisan amendment reaffirming U.S. commitments to providing military aid to Israel that was added to the bill.

The resolution follows criticism by Democrats of several moves by the Trump administration that they said endangered a two-state solution, including moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights and cutting the majority of U.S. aid to the Palestinians.

At this point in time, I no longer give a rat's patootie what the house does.

Even if it passed the Senate it wouldn't do much good since the Palestinians don't want a two state solution.  They want Israel wiped off of the face of the earth.

How is this a rebuke of the President, implicit or otherwise?  There is no Trump peace plan.  The administration is waiting for a stable Israeli government before presenting its proposal.

Good luck with that.  Any plan that does not involve driving all the Jews into the sea is a non-starter with the Palestinians.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Agreed.
Nothing good can come from the House of Representatives before January 1, 2021.
And just about everything that does come from it... till then... should be ignored.
