(CNN) A small, bipartisan group of House members introduced a resolution Thursday that condemns the boycott-Israel movement and reaffirms the commitment to a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- setting up what will likely become a tense debate among Democrats, who are divided on the issue.

The resolution, obtained by CNN and first reported by The Washington Post, outlines clear opposition to the Global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement -- shorthandedly referred to as the BDS Movement -- which, in its own words, "works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law."

Text of the resolution states the BDS Movement "undermines the possibility for a negotiated solution" to the conflict by "demanding concessions of one party alone and encouraging the Palestinians to reject negotiations in favor of international pressure."

It knocks the BDS Movement for targeting not only the Israeli government but also academic, cultural and civil society institutions in Israel, and argues many supporters of the movement don't recognize the right of the Jewish people in any part of "their homeland."

The resolution is poised to become a flashpoint among Democrats, as the BDS Movement has supporters in the Democratic caucus, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota has expressed support for the movement, but she has also vocalized concerns about its effectiveness. CNN has reached out to Omar for comment and has not yet received a response.
