                               RESOLUTION


 
 Rejecting the ``two-state solution'' as the United States' diplomatic 
policy objective and calls for the Administration to advocate for a new 
approach that prioritizes the State of Israel's sovereignty, security, 
                              and borders.

Whereas the State of Israel is the modern re-establishment of the sovereign 
        nation state of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland;
Whereas the State of Israel is the only consistent and reliable beacon of 
        freedom and democracy in the Middle East;
Whereas the State of Israel was founded in 1948 and its legitimacy is 
        inviolable, and is in no way contingent on the resolution of any 
        regional conflict;
Whereas Judea and Samaria is the heartland of the Biblical holy land, the cradle 
        of Jewish civilization, and Israel's claim to this internationally 
        disputed territory is right and just;
Whereas the State of Israel is a crucial strategic ally of the United States in 
        the region and in the larger war against the threats from radical Islam;
Whereas the State of Israel is under constant threat of belligerence from the 
        threat of diplomatic anti-Semitism, and violent attack from terrorism, 
        and military threat by radical Islamic forces and governments, like the 
        Islamic Republic of Iran;
Whereas the potential for a failed Palestinian Arab state in Judea and Samaria 
        remains a clear and present danger to the people of Israel; and
Whereas the Palestinian Authority does not meet the criteria for a viable and 
        functioning government with all the authority and responsibilities 
        thereof: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives rejects the ``two-state 
solution'' as the United States diplomatic policy objective and calls 
for the Administration to advocate for a new approach that prioritizes 
the State of Israel's sovereignty, security, and borders.
