Call in the “U.S. House of Representatives” for “Dramatic Change” in the Middle East

Al-Taj News – The Democratic leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, called for bringing about “dramatic change” in the Middle East, renewing his adherence to the two-state solution between the occupation and the Palestinians; where Jeffries affirmed, during his weekly press conference in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, that “the status quo is unacceptable, and we need dramatic change,” clarifying that this change is represented in “ensuring the existence of a safe and stable Israel living side by side, as a Jewish and democratic state, with an independent Palestinian state that provides dignity and the right to self-determination for the Palestinians”; as these statements come following the major gains achieved by the Democratic Party in the congressional midterm elections last week, which will grant it control over the House of Representatives and the Senate starting on the 3rd of next January, with expectations of Jeffries assuming the presidency of the House of Representatives and setting the legislative agenda, despite Republican President Donald Trump retaining the presidential veto power, which requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers to override.
