12 SEC. 9001. SHORT TITLE. 

13 This title may be cited as the ‘‘Middle East Partner14 ship for Peace Act of 2020’’. 

15 SEC. 9002. FINDINGS. 

16 Congress finds the following: 

17 (1) Economic development in conflict settings 

18 has been shown to support stabilization by empow19 ering entrepreneurs, growing the middle class, and 

20 mitigating unemployment. 

21 (2) In 2018, unemployment in the Palestinian 

22 territories was 32.4 percent. Gross Domestic Prod23 uct (GDP) growth in the Palestinian territories de24 clined from 2017 to 2019, and it is projected to fur25 ther decline in 2020. 


pamtmann on DSKBC07HB2PROD with BILLS
311 

HR 7608 RFS

1 (3) According to the World Bank Ad Hoc Liai2 son Committee’s April 2019 Economic Monitoring 

3 Report, ‘‘to achieve sustainable economic growth, in 

4 the Palestinian territories, growth and job creation 

5 going forward will need to be private sector driven’’. 

6 (4) According to the 2018 Joint Strategic Plan 

7 of the Department of State and the United States 

8 Agency for International Development, ‘‘assistance 

9 can help prevent new recruitment to terrorist organi10 zations, reduce levels of violence, promote legitimate 

11 governance structures that strengthen inclusion, and 

12 reduce policies that marginalize communities’’. 

13 (5) Although economic development is an im14 portant tool for stabilizing conflict-prone settings 

15 and establishing connections between communities, 

16 economic development by itself will not lead to last17 ing peace. People-to-people peace-building programs 

18 further advance reconciliation efforts by promoting 

19 greater understanding, mutual trust, and coopera20 tion between communities. 

21 (6) While the United States and its inter22 national partners continue to support diplomatic and 

23 political negotiations between the representatives of 

24 the parties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such 


pamtmann on DSKBC07HB2PROD with BILLS
312 

HR 7608 RFS

1 efforts require broad popular support among the 

2 people on the ground to succeed. 

3 (7) Achieving sustainable, high-level agreements 

4 for lasting peace in the Middle East must come 

5 through, and with the support of, the people who 

6 live there, and the United States and its inter7 national partners can help the people of the region 

8 build popular support for sustainable agreements for 

9 lasting peace. 

10 SEC. 9003. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 

11 It is the sense of Congress that— 

12 (1) building a viable Palestinian economy is 

13 central to the effort to preserve the possibility of a 

14 negotiated settlement leading to a sustainable two15 state solution with the democratic, Jewish state of 

16 Israel and a demilitarized, democratic Palestinian 

17 state living side-by-side in peace, security, and mu18 tual recognition; 

19 (2) United States and international support for 

20 grassroots, people-to-people efforts aimed at fos21 tering tolerance, and building support for a such so22 lution, can help counter extremist propaganda and 

23 the growing issue of incitement; 

24 (3) strengthening engagement between Palestin25 ians, Israelis, and through people-to-people peaceVerDate Sep 11 2014 22:08 Jul 31, 2020 Jkt 099200 PO 00000 Frm 00312 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 E:\BILLS\H7608.RFS H7608

1 building programs can increase the bonds of friend2 ship and understanding; 

3 (4) investing in the development of the Pales4 tinian economy and in joint economic ventures can 

5 advance multiple sectors to the benefit of local, re6 gional, and global parties; and 

7 (5) Congress encourages cooperation between 

8 Palestinian, American, and Israeli business sectors 

9 in order to benefit the Palestinian, American, and 

10 Israeli peoples and economies.
