More than 100 Dems send Pompeo letter strongly opposing Israeli settlement policy shift

More than 100 Democrats sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday rebuking the State Department’s decision to stop considering Israeli settlements a violation of international law.

Rep. Andy Levin, D-Mich., wrote the letter to Pompeo on Thursday “strongly” urging him “to reverse this policy decision immediately.”

The letter, which expressed “strong disagreement” with the State Department’s policy shift, was signed by 107 of the 233 Democrats in the House, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.

Only seven of the 23 Jewish lawmakers signed the letter, The Jerusalem Post noted.
