This resolution designates November 30, 2025, as "Yom Haplitim" or "Jewish Refugee Day" to recognize the forced displacement of approximately 900,000 Jewish people from Arab and Muslim-majority countries following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It acknowledges the historical presence of Jewish communities in these regions for over 2,500 years and their significant contributions despite facing discrimination. The resolution condemns antisemitism in all its forms and recognizes the hardships endured by Jewish people due to this exile. Furthermore, it calls for comprehensive educational initiatives across the United States, the Middle East, and North Africa to teach the history of this forced displacement. Finally, the resolution expresses support for efforts to safeguard the well-being of Jewish people against current and future threats.
