Bill > HR2002

This resolution formally recognizes the regions of Judea and Samaria, asserting their historical, biblical, and legal legitimacy as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people and the historical, spiritual, and geographic core of the Land of Israel, as repeatedly referenced in the Hebrew Bible. It rejects the term "West Bank," which it describes as a modern political construct imposed by Jordan during its occupation from 1948 to 1967, intended to sever the land from its Jewish and biblical roots. The resolution emphasizes that Israel liberated these areas in the 1967 Six Day War, restoring Jewish access to holy sites, and highlights the strategic importance of Judea and Samaria for Israel's defense and security, arguing that control of these regions is essential for Israel's military indefensibility and for preventing the emergence of terrorist-controlled states in the Middle East, thereby serving U.S. strategic interests and affirming Judeo-Christian heritage. Consequently, the resolution supports the use of "Judea" and "Samaria" in all official state communications and documents.
