Urges: (1) the Supreme Court of Argentina to designate a single investigative judge to conduct the investigation of the March 17, 1992 terrorist bombing of the Israeli embassy; (2) Argentinean judicial authorities to move forward aggressively in the investigation of the July 18, 1994 terrorist bombing of the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina Jewish Community Center; (3) Argentinean authorities to acknowledge publicly the reports submitted by Argentinean, U.S., and Israeli experts which determined that the explosion at the Israeli embassy took place outside the walls of the embassy; and (4) the President and appropriate executive agencies to provide all appropriate assistance which has been or which may be requested to help Argentinean authorities investigate these acts of terrorism.
This resolution urges Argentina's Supreme Court to appoint a single investigative judge to probe the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in the same city. It calls on Argentine authorities to publicly acknowledge expert findings on the 1992 explosion and asks the US President and relevant agencies to provide assistance to Argentina's investigation.
The resolution centers on terrorist attacks targeting Israeli diplomatic facilities and Jewish institutions, connecting them to Islamic Jihad and Iran. It signals congressional support for prioritizing investigation and accountability for attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets abroad, framed as terrorism.
