Pelosi Defends Democrats' Support for Israel, Commitment to Two-State Solution

Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi defended Democrats' support for Israel’s response to Hamas, arguing the party remains committed to a two-state solution.

Pelosi pushed back against recent dissent among some Democrats, saying the party couldn't say something different about Hamas for political purposes.

Biden has proposed over $14 billion in emergency aid to Israel, which is broadly supported within the House Democratic caucus.

A poll found 26% of Democrats disapprove of Biden's response to the Israel-Hamas war, slightly higher than his overall disapproval.

Pelosi said a bill supporting a two-state solution would likely pass again if Republicans put it on the floor.
