Has Jasmine Crockett supported or cosponsored any resolutions recognizing Palestinian statehood?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Available sources show Rep. Jasmine Crockett has supported pro-Israel resolutions and voted for large Israel aid packages during the Israel–Hamas war, and she has publicly called for ceasefires and humanitarian relief, but the sources do not report her as a sponsor or cosponsor of any congressional resolution that explicitly recognizes Palestinian statehood (not found in current reporting) [1] [2] [3].
1. Crockett’s public stance: ceasefires and humanitarian focus
Crockett issued public statements welcoming ceasefire and hostage‑release deals and emphasizing the need to end the fighting and provide aid to Palestinian civilians, framing a “permanent, lasting peace” as the path forward for Israelis and Palestinians [2] [4].
2. Voting record highlighted by critics: pro‑Israel resolutions and aid votes
Multiple sources note Crockett voted in favor of pro‑Israel resolutions and for major Israel security aid packages during the Israel–Hamas war; critics and watchdogs (including progressive and pro‑Palestinian organizations) cite those votes when assessing her record as poor on Israel–Palestine issues [1] [3].
3. No reporting of cosponsorship of Palestinian statehood resolutions
The available documents and profiles in this search do not mention Crockett cosponsoring or supporting a resolution specifically recognizing Palestinian statehood; sources either list her votes on Israel‑related measures or her public ceasefire statements, but not any sponsorship of recognition measures (not found in current reporting) [1] [2] [3].
4. How watchdogs and scorecards frame her record
Third‑party trackers and advocacy scorecards referenced in the search portray her as having “a poor legislative record on Israel‑Palestine issues” and list specific votes and letters (such as de‑escalation or ceasefire letters) rather than statehood recognition sponsorships—indicating the controversy centers on votes and statements, not on cosponsoring Palestinian state recognition [5] [1] [6].
5. Opposing narratives and their agendas
Progressive and Palestinian‑rights groups criticize Crockett for voting for aid and pro‑Israel resolutions, presenting that as enabling violence; the Reverse Canary Mission profile portrays her votes as complicit in “apartheid” and “genocide” narratives [3]. By contrast, Crockett’s office emphasizes ceasefire advocacy and humanitarian concern, an approach that aligns with seeking de‑escalation while not necessarily endorsing unilateral recognition—an implicit political calculation given party dynamics and foreign‑policy divisions [2] [4] [1].
6. What the evidence does — and does not — show
Evidence in these sources documents votes for aid and pro‑Israel resolutions, public statements urging ceasefire and relief, and low marks from some scorecards; none of the supplied items record her as a sponsor or cosponsor of a congressional resolution to recognize Palestinian statehood [1] [3] [2]. If you are looking for a definitive “yes” on cosponsorship of Palestinian state recognition, available sources do not mention it (not found in current reporting) [1] [2].
7. Recommendation for verification and next steps
To confirm definitively whether Crockett ever cosponsored an explicit Palestinian‑statehood resolution, consult the official Congressional record or her House website’s legislative records (not included among provided sources). The current coverage points to controversy over her votes and public statements rather than to documented cosponsorship of recognition legislation [1] [2].
