A group of 32 House Democrats signed on to a new resolution on Feb. 2 that recognizes Israel as America’s “legitimate and democratic ally” while also condemning anti-Semitism.

The bill, H.Res.92, was introduced by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), who is Jewish, shortly after Holocaust Remembrance Day.
