Whereas the democratic, Jewish State of Israel is a key ally and a strategic partner of the United States; Whereas it remains a standing policy of the United States to support Israel’s security efforts; Whereas American policy has long sought to bring peace to the Middle East and recognize that both the Israeli and Palestinian people should be able to live in safe and sovereign states, free from fear and violence, with mutual recognition; and Whereas Hamas began launching rockets into the Israeli capital of Jerusalem and surrounding areas belonging to the Jewish people of Israel: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns the acts of terrorism committed by Hamas against the people of the State of Israel; (2) recognizes Jerusalem as the legitimate capital city of the State of Israel; (3) supports Israel’s efforts of self-determination and collective security against external forces; and (4) reaffirms support for policies and initiatives combatting anti-Semitic behavior around the world.
