US Congressman Khanna leads push to recognise Palestinian state

US Congressman Ro Khanna is leading an effort with 13 House Democrats to push the United States to formally recognize a Palestinian state. The lawmakers sent a letter to the Trump administration urging the government to join the 147 countries that have already extended recognition. This initiative aligns with the 22-state Arab League Plan and comes as other nations like Spain, Ireland, France, and Canada have recently recognized or are considering recognizing Palestine. The push highlights a growing international trend and a significant shift in political discourse within the US regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
