US House passes resolution breaking with Trump on Israel policy 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersWASHINGTON – The US House of Representatives passed a symbolic resolution on Friday backing a two-state solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, following initiatives from President Donald Trump seen as heavily favoring the Jewish state. In March 2019, Trump recognized Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in 1967. The White House and Israel’s government did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Palestinian Authority said it viewed the vote as a response to the Trump administration’s “erroneous policy” in a statement.
