Bill > SRes410

This resolution calls on the President to recognize a demilitarized State of Palestine, aligned with international law and a two-state solution, while maintaining a secure State of Israel. The resolution builds upon decades of international resolutions and diplomatic efforts, including UN General Assembly Resolution 181 from 1947 and subsequent diplomatic initiatives. It acknowledges that over 140 UN member states already recognize Palestinian statehood and that both US political parties have historically supported a two-state solution. The resolution urges the Palestinian Authority to hold elections in 2026, implement democratic reforms, and commit to non-violence, while simultaneously calling on Hamas to end terrorism and release hostages. It also criticizes actions by both Israeli and Palestinian leadership that obstruct peace, such as settlement expansions and acts of violence. The resolution presents a comprehensive approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing the potential for regional peace and diplomatic normalization, particularly noting the willingness of Arab countries like Saudi Arabia to normalize relations if a clear pathway to Palestinian statehood exists. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to create a framework for mutual recognition, security, and self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians.
