Members of the US Senate
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)
"A deep commitment to Israel’s security and a shared set of democratic values are foundational elements of the close relationship between our countries. We are therefore concerned that a unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk."
Sen. Michael F. Bennet (D-CO)
"I am concerned that unilateral annexation of the West Bank by Israel outside the confines of negotiations will diminish future prospects for such talks and could potentially destabilize the region further, undermining U.S. and Israeli security interests."
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
"As steadfast supporters of a negotiated two-state solution, we are very concerned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stated intention to annex parts of the West Bank. We oppose unilateral actions by either side that could further threaten the prospects for a just and lasting peace, and the Prime Minister must refrain from such a provocative step."
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ)
"As I expressed directly to the Israeli government earlier this month, a unilateral action like annexation would threaten that lasting peace from becoming a reality-- with serious security, diplomatic, economic, and legal ramifications for Israel’s national security."
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
"A deep commitment to Israel’s security and a shared set of democratic values are foundational elements of the close relationship between our countries. We are therefore concerned that a unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk."
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD)
"As strong and dedicated supporters of the U.S.-Israel relationship, we are compelled to express opposition to the proposed unilateral annexation of territory in the West Bank."
Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE)
"A deep commitment to Israel’s security and a shared set of democratic values are foundational elements of the close relationship between our countries. We are therefore concerned that a unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk."
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA)
"I am concerned that stated plans to move forward with unilateral annexation of the West Bank will not only eliminate the possibility of a two-state solution, but may result in erosion of regional and international arrangements that guarantee Israel’s safety and security."
Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE)
"My hope would be that Ashkenazi as foreign minister and Gantz as defense minister — in what will be internal deliberations — given their deep experience in the IDF and given the security consequences of an abrupt move, would caution Bibi [Netanyahu] against some significant step like this."
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)
"As a strong supporter of Israel, I'm concerned Israel may unilaterally annex West Bank territories which could harm prospects for sustainable peace & security. We should be focused on a negotiated two-state solution that strengthens Israel and the Palestinians."
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL)
"A deep commitment to Israel’s security and a shared set of democratic values are foundational elements of the close relationship between our countries. We are therefore concerned that a unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk."
Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-IL)
"A deep commitment to Israel’s security and a shared set of democratic values are foundational elements of the close relationship between our countries. We are therefore concerned that a unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
"I fear that any steps taken by Israel to unilaterally annex land in the West Bank will result in long-term costs for Israel's national security and diplomatic relationships."
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
"Though my commitment to the cause of Israel and the safety of Israel will remain steadfast, I cannot currently agree with proposed Israeli unilateral actions to annex parts of the West Bank."
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)
"By impeding prospects for two states for two peoples, unilateral annexation would make Israel’s future as both a Jewish and democratic state uncertain. Further, annexation undermines the rights, dignity, and aspirations for statehood of the Palestinian people."
Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH)
"Israel has a right and an obligation to secure its borders, but annexing key territories without bilateral communication and support will only serve to increase the animosity of extremist actors like Hamas and decrease the willingness of Palestinian groups to come to the negotiating table."
Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM)
"A deep commitment to Israel’s security and a shared set of democratic values are foundational elements of the close relationship between our countries. We are therefore concerned that a unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk."
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI)
"As a strong supporter of the two-state solution, I oppose any unilateral move that puts the cause of peace further from reach. I urge Prime Minister Netanyahu and Benny Gantz not to move forward with any unilateral annexation of the West Bank."
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)
"A deep commitment to Israel’s security and a shared set of democratic values are foundational elements of the close relationship between our countries. We are therefore concerned that a unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
"I write to express my strong concern about the potential unilateral annexation of territory in the West Bank by Israel and the negative impact that such a decision could have on the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live side-by-side in peace and security."

Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI)
"I have serious concerns about Israel’s plans to annex parts of the West Bank; it would undermine the peace process and future negotiations."
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
"However, unilateral steps by either party push both parties farther away from peace. To that end, as I have communicated to Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, I am deeply concerned about the possibility of Israel unilaterally annexing the West Bank."
Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI)
"Unilaterally annexing territory in the West Bank would undermine stability in the region, threaten the viability of Israel's treaties with Jordan and Egypt, and do lasting damage to any possibility of a two-state solution."
