Summary

This resolution unequivocally condemns the horrific 1994 terrorist attack on the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which resulted in 85 deaths and over 300 injuries. It honors the victims and expresses profound sympathy for their relatives, who have endured over three decades without justice. The resolution underscores the United States' concern regarding the persistent delays in resolving this critical case, noting the alleged involvement of Iran and Hezbollah. The House of Representatives calls for the perpetrators, specifically Iranian and Hezbollah operatives , to be held accountable for their crimes. It commends the Government of Argentina for its recent actions, including designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, and for its highest criminal court affirming Iran's responsibility for the bombing as a "crime against humanity." Argentina has also passed a law allowing trials in absentia, leading to requests for international arrest warrants for Iranian officials. Furthermore, the resolution demands that INTERPOL member countries comply with existing arrest orders for individuals implicated in the AMIA attack. It stands in unwavering solidarity with the Jewish community of Argentina and the broader Latin American and Caribbean Jewish diaspora, particularly in light of surging global antisemitism. The resolution highlights the long-standing failure to bring justice for this attack and the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing, as well as the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman.
