Several House Democrats have signed a letter urging the administration of United States President Donald Trump to recognize the State of Palestine, Axios reported on Monday.
According to the news outlet, the letter which was first introduced by Representative Ro Khanna last week, has around 13 signatures so far. "This tragic moment has highlighted for the world the long overdue need to recognize Palestinian self-determination," Axios shared the quote from the letter that was sent to both Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Additionally, representatives reflected on the recent action taken by France and the United Kingdom and asked Trump's administration to do the same. "We encourage the governments of other countries that have yet to recognize Palestinian statehood, including the United States, to do so as well," the letter said.
