Ro\u2062 Khanna Urges President \u200dBiden to Change Middle East Foreign Policy<\/h2>\n<p>Amid\u2063 the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA)\u200d is \u200bcalling on\u200d President\u2064 Joe Biden to\u200c take bold actions and reshape his \u2062Middle East foreign policy strategy. Khanna believes\u2064 that recognizing a Palestinian state is crucial \u200bin resolving \u2062the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with CBS, Khanna emphasized the \u200dimportance \u2063of Biden going beyond \u200dcalling for \u200da ceasefire. He\u200b urged the president to convene Gulf\u200b allies, Israel, Palestinian \u2064leaders, and\u2064 civic society\u2064 to work \u2063towards \u200ca two-state solution\u200b and acknowledge the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/twitter-deletes-president-trumps-tweets-threatens-permanent-suspension\/\" title=\"Twitter deletes President Trump\u2019s tweets, threatens permanent suspension\">security concerns<\/a> of Israel.\u200b Khanna believes that by taking these steps, Biden\u2064 can become a hero.<\/p>\n<p>While\u2063 acknowledging that the \u2064conflict\u200d may impact Biden&#8217;s support among Democrats, Khanna encouraged the president to prioritize the well-being of people \u2063in the Middle East over electoral politics. He\u200d believes that recognizing a Palestinian state\u2064 would be a significant \u2063achievement \u2063for Biden&#8217;s legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Khanna also highlighted the\u200d potential to\u2063 win back\u200b young people&#8217;s support\u2062 by actively \u2062working towards peace. He suggested\u200c that Biden should\u200b personally intervene in the negotiations\u2064 and become\u2062 a\u200c peacemaker.<\/p>\n<p>Recent \u200cpolls \u200chave shown a decline in\u200c support\u200d for Biden among Democrats, with more respondents describing his \u200bpresidency as &#8220;fair or poor&#8221; \u200ccompared to Trump&#8217;s.

Similar campaigns are being organized in other \u200dstates, including California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<h3>White\u2064 House&#8217;s \u200cStance on a Palestinian State<\/h3>\n<p>The \u200cWhite\u200c House has expressed support \u2064for a Palestinian state and \u200ca \u200btwo-state solution.\u200c White \u2064House national security spokesman John Kirby confirmed that the administration\u200b has\u2064 been working towards this goal\u2064 since the beginning. Kirby\u2064 believes that achieving a two-state \u2063solution\u2062 would be a significant milestone in the peace \u200dprocess.<\/p>\n<p>However, Khanna \u2063believes that the current approach of supporting Israel while sending aid to Gaza is ineffective. He called \u2062for an \u200dend\u200d to sending \u200bweapons to Israel and emphasized the\u200b need for a permanent ceasefire and the \u200brelease of \u200dhostages.<\/p>\n<p>Khanna believes\u2063 that with one call, \u2062President\u200c Biden has \u200dthe power\u200c to\u2064 make a lasting\u200c impact and bring about peace in the region.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does Khanna propose\u200b the United States can\u200c play a\u2064 more active role in facilitating dialogue and trust-building \u2064measures between Israelis and Palestinians<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ng the complexities of\u200c the Israel-Palestine conflict, Khanna\u2063 argued\u2063 that the United States\u2063 cannot continue to support a policy that perpetuates violence and human suffering. He\u200d expressed disappointment with the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of the situation so far, stating \u200cthat it has failed to demonstrate the bold leadership\u200d needed to \u200caddress the root \u200bcauses of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Khanna \u2062pointed out\u200c that previous administrations, both Democratic and Republican, have also failed\u200b to bring about a lasting solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. He \u200bcited the continued expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank \u200cand the lack of progress in negotiations as evidence of the ineffectiveness of current US policy.<\/p>\n<p>In his\u2063 plea to President\u200c Biden, Khanna called for a new approach that includes recognizing a Palestinian state.\u2063 He stressed\u200c \u2064that the United States \u200bneeds to play a more active\u200c role in facilitating dialogue and promoting trust-building measures between the two parties.

He believes that recognizing a Palestinian state would not only be a just step but also a pragmatic one, as it would provide the \u200cnecessary framework for negotiations and\u200c address the \u200daspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Khanna acknowledged the security concerns of\u2062 Israel and stressed that any resolution must adequately address these concerns. He suggested that by \u200cbringing all stakeholders to the table, the United States could facilitate a comprehensive agreement that ensures the security of Israel while also allowing for the establishment\u2062 of a \u200cviable and sovereign \u2064Palestinian state.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200b his interview, Khanna acknowledged the challenges and complexities of achieving \u200dpeace in the Middle East. However, he emphasized that the United States has a unique \u200bresponsibility and \u200copportunity to\u200d influence the direction of the conflict. He urged President Biden to\u200d seize this moment and \u200cdemonstrate the bold leadership\u200b needed to bring about a lasting and just solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.<\/p>\n<p>As a prominent Democratic lawmaker and member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Khanna&#8217;s call for\u200d a change in \u2063US Middle East foreign policy carries weight and serves as a rallying cry for those\u200b seeking a more progressive approach to the conflict. His plea to President Biden \u2062highlights \u2064the urgent need for a shift in strategy and\u2064 a redoubling\u2063 of efforts \u200bto achieve a just and peaceful solution for all parties involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
