**Forty-Seven Democrats Call on U.S. to Recognize Palestinian State**

A group of 47 Democratic lawmakers, led by Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA), has signed a letter urging President Trump and Senator Marco Rubio to support the recognition of a Palestinian state. This move highlights growing calls within the Democratic Party to advance Palestinian statehood as part of efforts to achieve a lasting peace in the region.

In addition to this letter, some lawmakers have proposed an alternative approach involving an Arab League-led peace deal, emphasizing the need for broader regional cooperation.

Representative Ro Khanna was recently seen walking ahead of a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on a stopgap spending bill aimed at averting a partial government shutdown scheduled to begin on October 1. The vote took place on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on September 19, 2025.
