Statement from the National Jewish Assembly on Mayor Sadiq Khan’s Remarks Regarding Palestinian Statehood
Mayor Sadiq Khan’s renewed call for the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state is not only politically hollow, it’s dangerously misleading.

To suggest otherwise is not leadership – it’s grandstanding. Even […]
