Whereas the responsibilities of USSOCOM are growing and 
its mission is now and will continue to be central to the 
defense of the United States in future decades; and 
Whereas the sacrifices of many, the service of all, and the tal-
ents of the Special Operations Forces are cause for con-
fidence and optimism: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That in commemoration of the 30th anni-
versary of the United States Special Operations Com-
mand, the House of Representatives honors the soldiers, 
sailors, airmen, Marines, and civilians who, together with 
their family members, comprise the United States Special

Whereas the failure to achieve a two-state solution to the 
Israeli-Palestinian conflict poses a threat to Israel’s abil-
ity to maintain its identity as a Jewish and democratic 
state; 
Whereas achievement of a two-state solution could pave the 
way for the normalization of relations between Israel and 
Arab states in the region; 
Whereas it is long-standing policy of the United States that 
a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 
will only come through direct, bilateral negotiations be-
tween the two parties; 
Whereas it is longstanding practice of the United States to 
oppose and, if necessary, veto United Nations Security 
Council resolutions or other international efforts that 
seek to impose a solution to the conflict; 
Whereas it is also the historical position of the United States 
to oppose and, if necessary, veto one-sided or anti-Israel 
resolutions at the United Nations Security Council; 
Whereas United States Presidents from both parties have en-
gaged in efforts to help create better conditions for 
progress, including, but not limited to, facilitating direct, 
bilateral negotiations, with the goal of achieving a two- 
state solution and ending all outstanding claims; 
Whereas the United States recently put forward a set of non- 
binding principles based on commonly understood tenets 
of a final-status peace agreement, ‘‘not to prejudge or 
impose an outcome, but to provide a possible basis for se-
rious negotiations when the parties are ready’’ to move 
toward a two-state solution; and

Whereas the United States stands ready to help foster condi-
tions to provide space for the resumption of peace nego-
tiations between the two parties: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the United States should continue to sup-
port a durable and sustainable two-state solution to 
resolve the long-standing conflict between Israelis 
and Palestinians; 
(2) a viable and sustainable two-state solution 
can only be achieved through direct negotiations be-
tween Israelis and Palestinians; 
(3) the United States should continue to op-
pose, and if necessary, veto future United Nations 
Security Council resolutions that seek to impose so-
lutions to final status issues, or are one-sided and 
anti-Israel; and 
(4) the United States should continue to work 
with Israelis and Palestinians to create the condi-
tions for successful final-status peace negotiations.
