<ul class="summary-list"><li>Sen. Brian Schatz is sponsoring an amendment affirming support for a two state solution in Israel.</li><li>Just two Democratic senators didn't sign on: John Fetterman and Joe Manchin.</li></ul>On Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii released an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.schatz.senate.gov/news/press-releases/schatz-leads-group-of-49-senators-in-announcing-amendment-to-reaffirm-us-support-for-a-two-state-solution">amendment</a> to a forthcoming national security bill that affirms US support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict."What will determine the future of Israel and Palestine is whether or not there's hope," Schatz told reporters on Wednesday. "And the two-state solution has to be that hope."In a rare show of unity on the issue — which has increasingly become a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-divide-democrats-ukraine-republicans-hamas-gaza-2023-10">source of division</a> within the Democratic Party — nearly every single Democratic senator signed onto the amendment.The only two who did not were Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.In a statement to Business Insider, a Fetterman spokesman reiterated the Pennsylvania Democrat's <a target="_blank" href="https://jewishinsider.com/2022/04/john-fetterman-says-hell-lean-in-on-u-s-israel-relationship-as-senator/">support for a two-state solution</a> in Israel and Palestine, but said that he "strongly believes that this resolution should include language stipulating the destruction of Hamas as a precondition to peace."Manchin, meanwhile, indicated in a statement that his support for such a resolution is predicated on Palestinian recognition of Israel."Once a Palestinian government with its peoples' best interests at heart agrees that Israel should be a state, I will be the first one to sign on to a bipartisan amendment supporting that Israel recognize a Palestinian state," said Manchin.Fetterman has emerged in recent months as a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/john-fetterman-kyrsten-sinema-comparison-israel-border-progressive-2023-12">fiercely pro-Israel voice</a> in the Senate, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/john-fetterman-progressives-hoping-die-another-blood-clot-israel-2023-12">angering many of his progressive supporters</a> along the way.Schatz's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.schatz.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/two-state_solution_amendment.pdf">amendment</a> calls for a "negotiated comprehensive solution" to the conflict that would result in "two states with Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace, security, dignity, and mutual recognition."It also states that any such solution should ensure Israel's "survival as a secure, democratic, and Jewish state" while fulfilling the "legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people for a state of their own."It comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel's security needs were "irreconcilable with a Palestinian state.""My insistence is what has prevented — over the years — the establishment of a Palestinian state that would have constituted an existential danger to Israel," Netanyahu <a target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/01/22/netanyahu-biden-two-state-solution-palestine-river-to-sea/">later said</a>. "As long as I am prime minister, I will continue to strongly insist on this.""I think people were correctly alarmed at what Mr. Netanyahu said," said Schatz.Schatz said that he will not seek to force the amendment to be added to the forthcoming national security bill, which is expected to include changes to US immigration policy alongside billions of dollars in US aid to both Ukraine and Israel.But the Hawaii Democrat said it was important to reiterating longstanding US policy on the matter, particularly as in light of Netanyahu's comments and his colleagues' concerns about the war, which <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gaza-death-toll-25000-palestinians-israel-hamas-war-ongoing-divide/">has killed</a> over 25,000 Palestinians."We think there should be a freer flow of humanitarian assistance," said Schatz. "We are facing an emergency situation, we are facing a potential for famine, certainly the potential for cholera and other diseases that have to do with a lack of sanitation."No Republican senator signed onto the amendment, though Schatz told reporters that he was still having "very good conversations" about the matter with GOP colleagues.Since the October 7 Hamas attack, Republicans have generally been staunchly supportive of Israel, declining to offer public criticisms of the ongoing war.

New Delhi [India], March 20 (ANI): Prime Minister <keyword id="19895781" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="keywords">Narendra Modi</keyword> held a telephonic conversation with Russian President <keyword id="19900702" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vladimir-putin" source="keywords">Vladimir Putin</keyword> on Wednesday and reiterated India's stand on dialogue and diplomacy as a way for the resolution of the ongoing war against <keyword id="19895162" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ukraine" source="keywords">Ukraine</keyword>, said an official release. "The two leaders agreed to make concerted efforts towards further strengthening the Special &amp; Privileged Strategic Partnership between the two countries in the years to come. They also reviewed progress in various issues of bilateral cooperation, and exchanged views on regional and global issues of mutual interest," an official release said. "While discussing the Russia-Ukraine conflict, PM reiterated India's consistent position in favour of dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward. The two leaders agreed to remain in touch," it added. Meanwhile, Kremlin also shared details of President <keyword id="19911498" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="putin" source="keywords">Putin</keyword>'s conversation with <keyword id="19899320" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pm-modi" source="keywords">PM Modi</keyword> and said that the former informed the latter about the ongoing situation in the war-torn region of Ukraine. President Putin also emphasised Ukraine's refusal to take political and diplomatic steps to settle the conflict. "The President of <keyword id="19895159" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="russia" source="keywords">Russia</keyword> gave his assessment of the current state of affairs in the zone of the special military operation. He emphasised Kiev's categorical refusal to take political and diplomatic steps to settle the conflict," the President of Russia said in a statement. "In connection with the events of June 24, Narendra Modi expressed understanding and support of the resolute actions by the Russian leadership to protect law and order and ensure stability in the country and security of its people," it added. On June 24, 2023, <keyword id="19911496" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="yevgeny-prigozhin" source="keywords">Yevgeny Prigozhin</keyword>, the chief of the Wagner Group, led an armed rebellion against the Russian defense minister. The rebellion started in Rostov-on-Don, in southern Russia, and forces loyal to Prigozhin marched toward Moscow. The rebellion was called off after Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko intervened. In a televised address on June 24, President of Russia Vladimir Putin denounced Wagner's actions as treason and pledged to quell the rebellion. Further in the conversation, both leaders discussed the bilateral cooperation between the two countries and expressed their satisfaction over the increase in trade. "During the discussion of topical issues of bilateral cooperation, the leaders noted the importance of further consistent implementation of large-scale joint projects in different areas and voiced their satisfaction over a tangible increase in trade in 2022 and the first quarter of the current year," Kremlin said. "Special attention was paid to interaction in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the G20, in which India is holding the rotating presidency this year, and in the BRICS format. In addition, Narendra Modi told Vladimir Putin about his international contacts, including his recent visit to Washington," it added. The statement said further, "The conversation was substantive and constructive. The leaders confirmed their mutual desire to strengthen the Russia-India specially privileged strategic partnership and planned future contacts." Earlier in 2022, PM Modi's advice to Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine war during a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's summit in Uzbekistan's Samarkand has grabbed the attention of leading international media organisations. "Today's era is not of war and I have spoken to you about it on the call. Today we will get the opportunity to talk about how we can progress on the path of peace. India and Russia have stayed together with each other for several decades," PM Modi told Putin expressing his concerns about the impact of the war on food and energy security. "We spoke several times on the phone about India-Russia bilateral relations and various issues. We should find ways to address the problems of food, fuel security and fertilizers. I want to thank Russia and Ukraine for helping us to evacuate our students from Ukraine," he added. International media praised PM Modi's diplomatic acumen, who in a friendly tone pushed the concerns of the global community to its long-standing friend Russia. American publication -CNN praised PM Modi's hold on world politics and reported " Indian leader Narendra Modi tells Putin: Now is not the time for war." (ANI)

<ul class="summary-list"><li>On Monday night, Jon Stewart presented a solution to the Gaza conflict.</li><li>It includes the creation of a NATO for the Middle East.</li></ul>On his Monday-night show, Jon Stewart outlined his idea for a solution to the Gaza conflict.First, with his signature dry humor, he suggested a scaled-up version of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/seeds-of-peace-camp-for-isreali-palestinians-in-maine/">2014 event in Maine</a> that involved 95 Israeli and Palestinian teens trading "rockets for rackets" at a summer-camp-style gathering.Second, Stewart, said, "Let's just ask God.""It's his house," he added. "He's the one who started all this. Just ask God. He can tell us who is right. Is it the Jews? Is it the Muslims? Is it the Zoroastrians?"But Stewart then got serious and outlined his proposal for ending the violence in Gaza."Starting now, no preconditions, no earned trust, no partners for peace," Stewart said. "Israel stops bombing. Hamas releases the hostages. The Arab countries who claim Palestine is their top priority come in and form a demilitarized zone between Israel and a free Palestinian state."This NATO-like organization would involve Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan guaranteeing "security for both sides," Stewart said. He dubbed the proposed organization "METO" — for "Middle East Treaty Organization" — and said both the name and his proposed pronunciation, which sounds like "me too," could be workshopped further."Obviously, I've not worked out the exact verbiage, but anything is better than" the current "cycle," he said.Stewart is not the first to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-29/a-middle-eastern-nato-not-gonna-happen">suggest a NATO-style organization in the Middle East</a>, but the idea has thus far failed to gain traction.The <a target="_blank" href="https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/lw/98683.htm">US-led Baghdad Pact</a> in 1955 did not bring about lasting unity in the region, and the 2002 Arab League resolution also failed. Attempts by leaders such as President Donald Trump to create an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-gulf-alliance/trump-seeks-to-revive-arab-nato-to-confront-iran-idUSKBN1KH2IK/">Arab NATO</a> — and unite Middle Eastern nations with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-29/a-middle-eastern-nato-not-gonna-happen?embedded-checkout=true">deeply conflicting security goals and aims</a> — have fallen flat.During his monologue, "The Daily Show" host called out various major parties, from Israel and Hamas to the US, the UN, and other countries in the Middle East, saying they did not have a feasible solution to the violence."The status-quo cycle of provocation and retribution is predicated on some idea that one of these groups is going to go away. And they are not," Stewart said."If we want a safe and free Israel and a safe and free Palestine, we have to recognize that reality. And I know that there is a twisted and much-contested history in the region that has brought us to this point. But we are at this point," Stewart said.

The <a href="https://www.insider.com/tj-miller-ryan-reynolds-made-up-over-email-deadpool-2022-10">"Deadpool" actor</a> credits conflict resolution with transforming his life and approach to business."We live in a world that's increasingly gamified, and I think we have an instinct to win, crush, and kill," he said at Indeed's FutureWorks conference on Thursday. "If you can sort of disengage or disarm that instinct for a second, and instead replace it with seeking to learn about somebody, that's a leadership quality for me, at least, that has quite literally changed every aspect of my life."Reynolds said he learned about conflict resolution when he attended a workshop on it after feeling "a little bit lost and a little bit angry" in his 20s."I wanted to fix something. I wanted to get better," he said. "So I took this workshop in conflict resolution, and I didn't expect it to, but it really changed my life and it changed how I applied those principles in business in particular."Reynolds owns prepaid carrier <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/mint-mobile-review">Mint Mobile</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-ryan-reynolds-buzzy-marketing-agency-maximum-effort-2021-3">Maximum Effort</a>, a production company and digital marketing agency.

"You can't address problems with other people unless you understand them."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The House voted on a resolution affirming Israel's right to exist on Tuesday.</li><li>All but two members who cast a vote, voted for it.</li></ul>The House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a resolution affirming Israel's right to exist, and only two members did not vote in favor of it.Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the sole Palestinian American in Congress, voted "present," while Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky voted against it.Introduced by Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/888">resolution</a> affirms a variety of widely accepted facts about Israel and the Jewish people, including the atrocity of the Holocaust and the history of persecution of Jews.However, the resolution made no mention of Palestinians — who have their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-from-river-to-sea-means-israel-palestine-rashida-tlaib-2023-11">own historical claims</a> in the region — even as it stated that Jewish people are "native to the Land of Israel."In a statement, Tlaib argued that the resolution "ignores the existence of the Palestinian people" and "brings us no closer to peaceful coexistence."The resolution also states that "denying Israel's right to exist is a form of antisemitism" — which Massie took issue with."Antisemitism is deplorable, but expanding it to include criticism of Israel is not helpful," Massie wrote on X.It's not the first time the House has voted on a resolution like this — though it's the first time in a while that most progressive "Squad" members have voted for it.In October, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-lawmakers-voted-against-israel-resolution-hamas-attacks-progressives-2023-10">16 lawmakers</a> voted either "present" or against a resolution in support of Israel, and in July, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-house-democrats-vote-against-resolution-israel-racist-apartheid-state-2023-7">9 House Democrats</a> voted against a resolution declaring that Israel is "not a racist or apartheid state."Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York, a progressive "Squad" member who voted for the resolution, nonetheless expressed frustration over the vote."It seems like we vote on some form of this resolution every single week," said Bowman. "Do Palestinians have a right to exist? Is someone going to write that resolution? And when it's written, are we going to vote on it, or are we going to continue to have one conversation without the other?"Minutes earlier, a separate resolution condemning Hamas and calling for the release of hostages passed unanimously.The vote comes as Israel increasingly faces criticism of its handling of the war against Hamas. Thousands of Palestinian civilians have died since the initial Hamas attack on October 7, and Democrats in particular have begun talking openly about placing conditions on aid to Israel.Furthermore, the brutality of the conflict has underscored the ongoing stasis in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."For many years, the United States has provided Israel substantial sums of money — with close to no strings attached," Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/22/opinion/bernie-sanders-israel-gaza.html">wrote in a recent op-ed</a>, saying that "while we are friends of Israel, there are conditions to that friendship" and that "we cannot be complicit in actions that violate international law and our own sense of decency."

Just 2 House members did not vote in favor of a resolution affirming Israel's right to exist

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Sen. Bernie Sanders forced a floor vote on a resolution on Israel and Gaza.</li><li>It would've required the State Department to say whether Israel is violating human rights.</li></ul>Just 11 senators on Tuesday evening supported advancing a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/HLA2314621.pdf">resolution</a> from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sanders-urges-biden-revoke-financial-support-israel-netanyahu-gaza-palestinians-2024-1">Sen. Bernie Sanders</a> that would have significantly escalated congressional oversight of US military aid to Israel.Seventy-two senators, including nearly all Republicans, voted to table a motion to advance the resolution; 17 senators missed the vote.The vote comes as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 24,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel has waged a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-indicated-concluded-most-fighting-northern-gaza-2024-1">brutal military campaign</a> in the densely populated territory since the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7.The issue <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-divide-democrats-ukraine-republicans-hamas-gaza-2023-10">continues to split Democrats</a>, with some progressive lawmakers calling for a cease-fire as others, particularly Sanders, push to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conditions-us-aid-israel-blank-check-bernie-sanders-2023-11">place restrictions on the billions of dollars in military aid</a> that the US provides to the Jewish state each year.Under a relatively obscure provision within US law, the resolution would have forced the State Department to provide Congress with a report on human rights violations by Israel."We will be voting on a very simple question: do you support asking the State Department whether human rights violations may have occurred using US equipment or assistance in this war?" Sanders said during a floor speech last week. "I hope it is not controversial to ask how US weapons are being used."But Republicans were nearly unanimous in their opposition — Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only one to support the resolution."The resolution brought forward by Sen. Sanders is little more than performative left-wing politics," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a floor speech earlier on Tuesday. "Israel deserves America's firm support as it roots out terrorist killers and restores its security."And even most Democrats — including those who say they're concerned about the humanitarian situation in Gaza — did not vote to advance the resolution.Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement that he would vote against the resolution because he doesn't support "risking the suspension of all US assistance or publicly rebuking Israel in a way that could embolden its enemies."<h2>'It allows for meaningful conversations to start'</h2>Under Section 502B(c) of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/COMPS-1071/pdf/COMPS-1071.pdf">Foreign Assistance Act</a>, either the House or the Senate can request a State Department report on human rights practices by any country that receives aid from the US.Tuesday was the first time ever that senators had taken a floor vote on that provision.If the State Department failed to provide a report within 30 days, then US aid to Israel would be halted — a possibility that Sen. Coons alluded to in his statement opposing the resolution.However, it would be highly unusual for the State Department to fail to respond to an oversight request from Congress."To not provide a report in response to a request of a majority of senators would be a pretty significant break with norms," said John Ramming Chappell, an advocacy and legal fellow at the Center for Civilians in Conflict.Despite the vote's failure, it offers the clearest view yet of where Democrats, in particular, stand on the issue — and human rights advocates also hope it marks the beginning of a broader conversation on not just Israel but congressional oversight of US aid more broadly."Having members on the record on this issue for the first time since October 7 is very important," said Chappell. "It allows for meaningful conversations to start, and it's a prerequisite to oversight."In the coming weeks and months, US military aid to Israel is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conditions-us-aid-israel-blank-check-bernie-sanders-2023-11">only likely to face more scrutiny.</a>Sanders's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/HLA2314621.pdf">resolution</a> notes several ways that the US is implicated in the ongoing situation in Gaza, including by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-sends-israel-2-000-pound-bunker-buster-bombs-for-gaza-war-82898638">providing</a> at least 15,000 bombs and 57,000 artillery shells to the country as it wages a war that has displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians.Beyond the existing $3.8 billion in military aid that the US provides each year, Congress is considering an additional $14 billion in aid to Israel as part of a broader national security bill that would also provide aid to more Ukraine.Democratic senators have introduced two different amendments related to Israel aid, including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kaine.senate.gov/press-releases/kaine-to-file-amendment-to-maintain-congressional-oversight-of-foreign-military-assistance">one</a> from Sen.

"It's never been more urgent than it is today to examine US arms transfers to Israel."Here are the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1182/vote_118_2_00008.htm">11 senators</a> who backed Sanders's resolution:<ul><li>Republican Sen.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>China and the US have pledged to strengthen their ties after Blinken's meeting with President Xi Jinping. </li><li>It comes at a time of historically poor relations between the two countries. </li></ul>Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese President Xi Jinping have pledged to stabilize the badly-deteriorated ties between China and the US during a critical meeting in Beijing on Monday. It remains to be seen whether the two countries can resolve their most important disagreements, many of which have international financial, security and stability implications.However, the US State Department said that Blinken had "underscored the importance of responsibly managing the competition between the United States and the People's Republic of China."It added that the meeting could help "ensure competition does not veer into conflict."In a transcript of remarks <a href="https://www.state.gov/secretary-antony-j-blinken-and-peoples-republic-of-china-president-xi-jinping-before-their-meeting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared by the State Department</a>, Xi called the progress "very good." He added that the two sides have agreed to follow through on agreements he and President Joe Biden had made at a previous meeting in Bali. "The two sides have also made progress and reached agreement on some specific issues," he said, without describing them. Blinken said, per the State Department, that the two countries "have an obligation and responsibility to manage our relationship," and said the US is "committed" to this. Blinken's meeting with Xi makes him the highest-level U.S. official to visit China since President Joe Biden took office, and the first secretary of state to make the trip in five years.Blinken met with China's top diplomat Wang Yi for about three hours, as well as taking on a six-hour meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, after which both countries said they had agreed to continue high-level discussions.However, there was no sign that any of the most fractious issues between them were closer to resolution. Relations, at a long-time low, have been marred by several high-profile incidents. A <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chinese-spy-balloon-us-pentagon-why-would-china-send-one-2023-2">Chinese surveillance balloon</a> shot down by the US over US soil prompted Blinken in February to postpone a planned visit to China; there have been further tense military encounters in the South China Sea. In retaliation for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pelosi-visits-taiwan-despite-china-threats-of-possible-military-response-2022-8">then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last summer</a>, China canceled a raft of agreements between the two countries, including mutual security arrangements. This in turn has increased concerns about military encounters in much-watched areas such as the South China Sea. In early June, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/video-us-spy-plane-cockpit-rattles-chinese-fighter-jet-2023-5">a Chinese jet performed a dramatic intercept</a> of a US aircraft in this airspace, which was described by US officials as "unnecessarily aggressive maneuver."<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-intercept-video-us-spy-plane-experts-2023-6">Experts told Insider</a> the move — which was followed a few days later by a maritime near-miss in the same waters — was a sign of an increasingly emboldened China. Both sides on Monday expressed a willingness to keep talking.
