This resolution does nothing to actually resolve issues between Israel and the Palestinians. Instead it will only aid and abet those who seek to isolate Israel and encourage future initiatives to impose a policy outcome independent of direct, bilateral negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. By overturning nearly 40 years of bipartisan U.S. policy towards anti-Israel UN Security Council resolutions, President Obama has left a key regional ally exposed and undermined faith in America's commitment to stand by its allies. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate and the new administration to restore the bipartisan consensus on U.S. support for Israel and ensure that this resolution is not used to further an anti-Israel agenda that is not in U.S. interests." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
