House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called on Thursday for dramatic change in US policy in the Middle East and for a change in US military aid to Israel. He reiterated support for a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. Jeffries also sharply criticized President Donald Trump's war against Iran, calling it a reckless and costly war of choice. The remarks follow Democrats' midterm election victories, which could lead to curbs on US support for Israel when they take control of Congress in January.
