If Israel applies sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria, it will undermine US national security and upend bipartisan support for the Jewish state, US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi warned on Thursday.

During a virtual event with the Jewish Democratic Council of America, Pelosi said that "unilateral annexation puts [the] future at risk and undermines US national security interests … and decades of bipartisan policy."

Pelosi cited a US House of Representatives resolution that passed mostly along party lines in December – with most Democrats voting for it, and most Republicans voting against it – reaffirming support for the two-state solution to the seven-decade-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The resolution emphasized the US-Israel relationship on issues from national security to shared values such as "democracy, human rights and the rule of law."

At the same time, it also stated, "Whereas the United States has long sought a just and stable future for Palestinians, and an end to the occupation, including opposing settlement activity and moves toward unilateral annexation in Palestinian territory."

Pelosi also accused US President Donald Trump of "acquiescence" amid the rise in anti-Semitism in the United States and abroad.

"He has created a climate in which this has become more accept[able]," she said, citing Trump's responses in the aftermath of the 2017 Charlottesville protests, which turned violent over the attempt to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

In December, Trump signed an executive order combating anti-Semitism in the United States.
