Bill > HRes852

This resolution affirms the historical and religious significance of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, emphasizing Israel's sovereignty over the site and the importance of religious freedom. The resolution recognizes the Temple Mount as the holiest site in Judaism, with a history dating back approximately 3,000 years, and highlights the site's importance to Christians and Muslims as well. It notes that Israel reunified Jerusalem in 1967 and has maintained sovereignty since then, while also pointing out current restrictions on non-Muslim access to the site. The House of Representatives resolves to affirm the Jewish people's right to access and pray at the Temple Mount, recognize the site's integral role in Jewish heritage, support Israel's efforts to protect Muslim worshippers and Islamic structures, and reaffirm Jerusalem as Israel's undivided capital. The resolution also critiques the current limitations on non-Muslim access, such as restricted entry gates and prohibited access on certain days, and challenges attempts by international actors to downplay the Jewish people's historical connection to the site.
