ADL ‘disappointed’ with GOP departure from two-state solution

The Anti-Defamation League is “disappointed” that the Republican Party’s draft platform omits any mention of the two-state solution.

“We are pleased that the platform draft affirms the GOP’s unwavering support for a strong and secure Israel with Jerusalem as its capital and unequivocally rejects the BDS movement. Both party platform drafts reflect and reinforce the broad bipartisan consensus in favor of strong US support for Israel that has endured for decades,” Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO, says in a statement.

“We are disappointed that the platform draft departs from longstanding support of a two-state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict – and the shared vision of successive American presidents and prime ministers of Israel, including the current leadership in both countries, who believed it was the only viable way to secure Israel as both a Jewish and democratic state. We hope the delegates will reconsider and reaffirm this pillar of US policy toward Israel in the final platform.”
