TITLE IX—MIDDLE EAST 
PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE 
SEC. 9001. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Middle East Partner-
ship for Peace Act of 2020’’. 
SEC. 9002. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Economic development in conflict settings 
has been shown to support stabilization by empow-
ering entrepreneurs, growing the middle class, and 
mitigating unemployment. 
(2) In 2018, unemployment in the Palestinian 
territories was 32.4 percent. Gross Domestic Prod-
uct (GDP) growth in the Palestinian territories de-
clined from 2017 to 2019, and it is projected to fur-
ther decline in 2020.

HR 7608 RFS
(3) According to the World Bank Ad Hoc Liai-
son Committee’s April 2019 Economic Monitoring 
Report, ‘‘to achieve sustainable economic growth, in 
the Palestinian territories, growth and job creation 
going forward will need to be private sector driven’’. 
(4) According to the 2018 Joint Strategic Plan 
of the Department of State and the United States 
Agency for International Development, ‘‘assistance 
can help prevent new recruitment to terrorist organi-
zations, reduce levels of violence, promote legitimate 
governance structures that strengthen inclusion, and 
reduce policies that marginalize communities’’. 
(5) Although economic development is an im-
portant tool for stabilizing conflict-prone settings 
and establishing connections between communities, 
economic development by itself will not lead to last-
ing peace. People-to-people peace-building programs 
further advance reconciliation efforts by promoting 
greater understanding, mutual trust, and coopera-
tion between communities. 
(6) While the United States and its inter-
national partners continue to support diplomatic and 
political negotiations between the representatives of 
the parties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such

efforts require broad popular support among the 
people on the ground to succeed. 
(7) Achieving sustainable, high-level agreements 
for lasting peace in the Middle East must come 
through, and with the support of, the people who 
live there, and the United States and its inter-
national partners can help the people of the region 
build popular support for sustainable agreements for 
lasting peace. 
SEC. 9003. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) building a viable Palestinian economy is 
central to the effort to preserve the possibility of a 
negotiated settlement leading to a sustainable two- 
state solution with the democratic, Jewish state of 
Israel and a demilitarized, democratic Palestinian 
state living side-by-side in peace, security, and mu-
tual recognition; 
(2) United States and international support for 
grassroots, people-to-people efforts aimed at fos-
tering tolerance, and building support for a such so-
lution, can help counter extremist propaganda and 
the growing issue of incitement; 
(3) strengthening engagement between Palestin-
ians, Israelis, and through people-to-people peace-

building programs can increase the bonds of friend-
ship and understanding; 
(4) investing in the development of the Pales-
tinian economy and in joint economic ventures can 
advance multiple sectors to the benefit of local, re-
gional, and global parties; and 
(5) Congress encourages cooperation between 
Palestinian, American, and Israeli business sectors 
in order to benefit the Palestinian, American, and 
Israeli peoples and economies. 
SEC. 9004. PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE 
FUND. 
Chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act
