Anthony Housefather was among three Liberals who voted against the final motion, which called only for progress towards a two-state solution.
Quebec Liberal MP Anthony Housefather said he is “reflecting” on his future in the Liberal party after a heavily amended NDP motion on Palestinian statehood passed in the House of Commons on Monday.
