Tim Walz's Policy on Israel and Gaza

Background

Walz has not spoken extensively about Israel or Gaza. However, he has made some statements that suggest he supports both a two-state solution and increased aid to Palestinians.

Walz's Statements on Israel and Gaza

In the immediate aftermath of the October 7 attacks, Walz condemned Hamas. He also said that he believes in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Walz has also expressed support for more aid to the Palestinians. In a 2018 interview, he said that he believes the United States should "do more to help the Palestinians." More recently, Walz has called for a ceasefire in Gaza. He has also said that he believes the United States should play a more active role in brokering a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians.

Reactions to Walz's Statements

Walz's statements on Israel and Gaza have been met with mixed reactions. Some pro-Palestinian groups have praised his support for a two-state solution and increased aid to Palestinians. However, other groups have criticized him for not being more critical of Israel. Some uncommitted delegates have said that they will fully mobilize for the Democratic ticket if Harris and Walz support a two-state solution and increased aid to Palestinians.

Conclusion

Walz's policy on Israel and Gaza is still evolving. However, his statements suggest that he supports a two-state solution, increased aid to Palestinians, and a more active role for the United States in brokering a peace agreement.
