Evidence
"I deeply support the aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace, freedom, security, and prosperity. I believe that these aspirations can only be achieved through a negotiated peace process that will lead to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." He also said he is "deeply committed to oppose all forms of bigotry and hatred, including anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia."
Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García led 23 Members in sending a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche urging a "thorough, credible, and independent investigation" into the killing of Khamis Ayyad, a U.S. citizen killed during Israeli settler raids in the West Bank.
Assessments
Garcia has clearly taken same-term actions consistent with the promise: he publicly endorsed a negotiated two-state solution, opposed Islamophobia and anti-Semitism, and later led colleagues in pressing for accountability in a West Bank killing involving a U.S. citizen, which supports Palestinian human and civic rights. However, the record provided does not show that he sponsored, wrote, materially advanced, or helped enact specific legislation combating Islamophobia and anti-Semitism while protecting Palestinian rights. Because the promise includes a legislative component and the evidence shows advocacy and oversight rather than enacted or materially advanced legislation, this is best scored as partial fulfillment with effort credit.
