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 aggressively investigate the 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 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 whatever assistance is requested to help Argentinean authorities investigate these acts of terrorism.
This non-binding resolution urges Argentina's courts to assign a single judge to investigate the 1992 bombings of the Israeli Embassy and a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, and calls on the U.S. President to offer whatever assistance Argentina requests in pursuing these investigations. It also urges Argentine authorities to publicly acknowledge technical findings from Argentine, U.S., and Israeli experts about the embassy bombing's location.
The resolution frames these 1992 attacks as terrorism requiring U.S.-backed international accountability and explicitly commits the U.S. government to supporting Israel-related investigations in foreign jurisdictions. As a non-binding statement, it signals congressional sentiment on U.S. support for prosecuting attacks on Israeli institutions abroad, but does not direct funding or legal obligations.
