Commemorates the life of Yitzhak Rabin and extends deepest sympathy and condolences to his family and the people of Israel on the 20th anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's death. Supports the close ties and special relationship between the people and governments of the United States and Israel. Reaffirms the commitment of the House of Representatives to the process of building a just and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians based on two states for two peoples. Calls on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to quell the current outbreak of terrorism and violence, and to resume work toward a negotiated two-state solution.
This House resolution honors former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on the 20th anniversary of his assassination in 1995. It expresses condolences to his family and the Israeli people, affirms U.S.-Israel ties, and calls on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to pursue a two-state peace agreement while halting violence.
As a non-binding resolution, this has no direct legislative effect but signals House sentiment on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It expresses support for a two-state solution while framing the call for reduced violence symmetrically to both sides.
