Israel is a valuable strategic ally in the region, but it often finds itself sabre-rattling with its neighbors and other regional powers.  The issue of Palestinian sovereignty is a tricky one to thread, as it incites passions stemming from ancient religions that are often at odds.  To make matters worse, these spiritual tenants often deal with land rights which are believed by the faithful to be assigned by their god(s).  Let us not worry about these supernatural claims but instead look at the practical matter before us:  a strip of land 60 miles wide and 240 miles long has been a powder keg for hostilities for centuries, and these hostilities often have a global economic and humanitarian impact.  We owe it to ourselves and our citizens to forge a solution and advocate for the best interests of both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.

According to the President, I am supposed to allow 48 hours of debate prior to opening a vote. I sincerely apologize as I'm still adjusting to the new rules and the new position.

Representatives have 24 hours to object to the sponsorship of Harvey.

I sincerely apologize for misinterpreting the rules; the House has 48 hours to debate this resolution and then vote whether to pass it or continue debate.

Hearing no objection, Harvey is recognized as sponsor. Debate shall proceed sans the initially scheduled 48-hour vote due to the rule change.

Reiterating my earlier comments in another thread re: sponsor advocacy, but absent that I'll post my own thoughts on the matter.

My understanding is that the current Israeli government is slightly more amenable to the sentiments expressed in this resolution than RL. Passing this, in addition to reiterating a pragmatic foreign policy stance, would be a reasonable expression of where we hope things will proceed from here as regards the interests of citizens of both states and would not substantially harm our relations with either state. I have no objections to the resolution.

Since I presume that there is a consensus in the support a two state solution for Israel and Palestine, I doubt that there would be major debate over this.

I motion for a final vote.

This bill has the votes to pass. Vote closes in a little under 24 hours so that's how long y'all have to vote or change your votes.
