Israeli government and its prime minister are in-
structed to raise the issue of compensation for pri-
vate and communal property during negotiations. 
(20) The initiative to secure rights and redress 
for Jews who were forced to flee Arab countries does 
not conflict with the right of Palestinian refugees to 
claim redress. 
(21) All countries should be aware of the plight 
of Jews and other minority groups displaced from 
countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and the 
Persian Gulf. 
(22) An international campaign has been pro-
ceeding in some 20 countries to record the history 
and legacy of Jewish refugees from Arab countries. 
(23) A just, comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace 
cannot be reached without addressing the uprooting 
of centuries-old Jewish communities in the Middle 
East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf. 
(24) It would be inappropriate and unjust for 
the United States to recognize rights for Palestinian 
refugees without recognizing equal rights for Jewish 
refugees from Arab countries.

reference to the required resolution of the Pales-

to Israel to help it accomplish its goal that the inter-
ests of Jews displaced from Arab countries are con-
sidered in any final settlement of the Middle East
