Bill > HRes904

This resolution recognizes November 30, 2025, as "Yom Haplitim" or "Jewish Refugee Day", a commemoration of the approximately 900,000 Jewish people who were exiled from Arab countries in the early years of Israel's statehood. The resolution highlights the long history of Jewish communities in North Africa, the Middle East, and the Gulf region, spanning over 2,500 years, and acknowledges their significant cultural and societal contributions to countries like Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, and Morocco, despite experiencing generations of discrimination. It emphasizes that in the aftermath of World War II and the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, entire Jewish communities were forcibly displaced from their longstanding homelands, with many refugees becoming citizens of Israel or migrating to the United States. The resolution calls for recognizing the hardships of Jewish people, condemning antisemitism, promoting educational efforts about their forced displacement, and supporting efforts to safeguard the wellbeing of Jewish communities against current and future threats. Ultimately, the resolution reflects the U.S. Congress's continued support for the security of Israel and Jewish people worldwide.
