Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) Israel, and Israel alone, can determine its security needs; (2) the final political status of the Palestinian entity can only be determined through bilateral negotiations and agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority; (3) any such unilateral declaration of a Palestinian State would be a grievous violation of the Oslo Accords, would seriously impede any possibility of advancing the peace process, and would have severe negative consequences for Palestinian relations with the United States; and (4) the President should now publicly and unequivocally state that the United States will actively oppose such a unilateral declaration and will not extend recognition to any unilaterally declared Palestinian State.
This resolution calls on the President to oppose any unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood and refuse to recognize it. It asserts that Israel alone determines its security needs and that Palestinian statehood can only result from direct bilateral negotiations with Israel, not unilateral action.
This is a non-binding statement of congressional sentiment that rejects Palestinian unilateral statehood and reinforces the precondition that negotiations must be bilateral and Israeli-led. VoteLog's pro-Palestine classification appears to be a labeling error; the resolution's operative language and stated positions align with pro-Israel policy.
