He is a consistent champion for Israeli-Palestinian peace, stating that the success of a future agreement in the region will require “active, rigorous, sustained, and thoughtful American leadership." He has visited the region twice, meeting with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, visiting Iron Dome batteries near Gaza, and touring occupied communities on the West Bank.
He was one of the earliest cosponsors of H.Res. 326, reaffirming congressional commitment to the two-state solution and opposition to settlement expansion and annexation.
