Bill Summary
A resolution opposing efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel and the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement targeting Israel. This resolution opposes the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS) and other efforts targeting Israel, and states that BDS undermines the possibility for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The resolution urges both sides to return to direct negotiations and expresses support for a solution resulting in the state of Israel existing alongside a democratic Palestinian state.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses opposition to the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS Movement), which targets Israel with economic, cultural, and academic isolation, and condemns all efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel. The resolution argues that the BDS Movement undermines the possibility of a negotiated peace between Israelis and Palestinians by demanding concessions from only one side and discouraging direct talks, instead urging both parties to return to negotiations. It also reaffirms support for a two-state solution where a democratic Jewish State of Israel and a democratic Palestinian state coexist peacefully and are mutually recognized, and supports continued cooperation between the United States and Israel to counter the effects of boycotts and sanctions.
