September 29, 2026

WASHINGTON, DC - Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) voted for S.Res.852, a resolution requesting information on Israel's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. After the vote, she released the following statement:

"Whenever an American citizen is killed overseas, Congress has a responsibility to learn exactly what happened and what we can do to ensure it never happens again. I joined my colleagues in demanding the answers Americans deserve. For the sake of Palestinians and Israelis, for the sake of peace and compassion, the violence we have witnessed in the West Bank must stop, and there must be accountability for the perpetrators and justice for the victims. It is time to change course. My commitment to Israel's right to exist and defend itself is unwavering, but I will always stand up to injustice and violence."
