This resolution honors Yitzhak Rabin for his service to the Israeli people and extends the sympathy and condolences of the House of Representatives to his family and the people of Israel on the 25th anniversary of his death. Further, it expresses support for (1) the close ties and special relationship between the United States and Israel; (2) community leaders and government officials who work to encourage coexistence and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians; and (3) a negotiated, two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This resolution honors former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on the 25th anniversary of his assassination in 1995. It expresses US sympathy to his family and the Israeli people, reaffirms the US-Israel relationship, and endorses support for leaders working toward Israeli-Palestinian coexistence and a negotiated two-state solution.
Nonbinding resolutions like this carry symbolic weight in signaling chamber sentiment. This one pairs commemoration of Rabin—an Israeli leader associated with peace negotiations—with explicit support for a two-state solution, which has become a contentious position in Congress as settlement expansion continues.
