Bill > HR7552

This bill, titled the "RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria Act," aims to prohibit the use of the term "West Bank" in official government materials and instead require the use of the historical names "Judea and Samaria" to refer to the land annexed by Israel from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War. The bill proposes several conforming changes to existing U.S. laws, such as the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and the Taylor Force Act, to replace references to the "West Bank" with "Judea and Samaria." The bill also includes a provision that allows the Secretary of State to waive the prohibition if it is determined to be in the interests of the United States.
