Rep. Rashida Tlaib speaking up for Palestinian rights in the House chamber, Dec. 2019. Twelve House members have sent Secretary of State Antony Blinken a letter, calling on the Biden administration to commit to a foreign policy that “supports the human rights and dignity of Palestinian people.” The letter asserts that Biden should oppose all forms of annexation, withdraw the Trump administration’s “peace plan” for the region, and call on Israel provide the COVID vaccine to all Palestinians living under occupation. The letter declares that”settler-colonialism in any form- including Israel’s settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank- is illegal under international law and will not be tolerated.”
