Summary

This resolution commemorates the 33rd anniversary of the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy and the 31st anniversary of the 1994 bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. These devastating terrorist attacks resulted in significant loss of life and were attributed by Argentine courts to the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah and the Government of Iran . The resolution highlights the decades-long delay in achieving justice for the victims and the challenges faced, including the unresolved murder of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who was investigating Iranian involvement. The Senate strongly condemns both attacks, honors the victims, and expresses sympathy to their families who continue to await justice. It urges the Government of Argentina and the international community to intensify efforts to prosecute the perpetrators, specifically by enforcing and extending INTERPOL Red Notices issued against suspects. The resolution also calls on the United States President to offer technical assistance to Argentina's ongoing investigations and for the swift conclusion of the inquiry into Alberto Nisman's death. Furthermore, it commends Argentina for designating Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations and for adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism, encouraging other allies to follow suit, and calls on the U.S. Government to continue supporting efforts to hold Iran accountable for the AMIA attacks.
