Original Resolution Affirming the State of Palestine’s Right to Exist

This House Resolution seeks to formally acknowledge the State of Palestine's right to exist and its potential future as a sovereign nation-state. It builds upon historical context, including the 1947 United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 which called for the partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, and a previous House resolution reaffirming Israel's right to exist. The resolution explicitly states that the House of Representatives affirms Palestine's right to exist and to become a nation-state at a future time. Furthermore, it recognizes the two-state solution as the sole viable path to securing a lasting peace in the region. Crucially, the resolution also rejects any calls for Palestine's destruction , reinforcing its commitment to a peaceful and coexistent future.
