WASHINGTON—Partisan conflict is the congressional norm, but the 48 members of an unusual House of Representatives caucus—evenly divided between the two major political parties—are backing an official resolution condemning the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS) movement.

House Joint Resolution 246 explicitly condemns the movement and endorses the “two-state solution,” under which Israel would give up territory that would become an independent Palestinian state.
