TITLE VIII 
NITA M. LOWEY MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE 
ACT OF 2020 
SHORT TITLE 
SEC. 8001. This title may be cited as the ‘‘Nita M. Lowey 
Middle East Partnership for Peace Act of 2020’’. 
FINDINGS 
SEC. 8002. Congress finds the following: 
(1) Economic development in conflict settings has been 
shown to support stabilization by empowering entrepreneurs, 
growing the middle class, and mitigating unemployment. 
(2) In 2018, unemployment in the Palestinian territories 
was 32.4 percent. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in 
the Palestinian territories declined from 2017 to 2019, and 
it is projected to further decline in 2020. 
(3) According to the World Bank Ad Hoc Liaison Commit-
tee’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 Depart-
ment of State and the United States Agency for International 
Development, ‘‘assistance can help prevent new recruitment 
to terrorist organizations, reduce levels of violence, promote 
legitimate governance structures that strengthen inclusion, and 
reduce policies that marginalize communities’’. 
(5) Although economic development is an important tool 
for stabilizing conflict-prone settings and establishing connec-
tions between communities, economic development by itself will 
not lead to lasting peace. People-to-people peace-building pro-
grams further advance reconciliation efforts by promoting 
greater understanding, mutual trust, and cooperation between 
communities. 
(6) While the United States and its international partners 
continue to support diplomatic and political negotiations 
between the representatives of the parties to the Israeli-Pales-
tinian 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 international partners can help the people of the region 
build popular support for sustainable agreements for lasting 
peace. 
SENSE OF CONGRESS 
SEC. 8003. 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,
H. R. 133—635 
Jewish state of Israel and a demilitarized, democratic Pales-
tinian state living side-by-side in peace, security, and mutual 
recognition; 
(2) United States and international support for grassroots, 
people-to-people efforts aimed at fostering tolerance, and 
building support for such solution, can help counter extremist 
propaganda and the growing issue of incitement; 
(3) strengthening engagement between Palestinians and 
Israelis, including through people-to-people peace-building pro-
grams can increase the bonds of friendship and understanding; 
(4) investing in the development of the Palestinian economy 
and in joint economic ventures can advance multiple sectors 
to the benefit of local, regional, 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.
