CONCURRENT RESOLUTION<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas June 2007 marks the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War and the reunification of the city of Jerusalem ; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas Israel has, since its founding, sought peace with its Arab neighbors; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas in the weeks leading up to the Six Day War, Israel's neighbors, without provocation, called for and implemented a blockade of Israel's critical outlet <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

to the Red Sea, ordered United Nations peace-keeping forces out of the Sinai desert, massed their forces with apparent hostile intent in the Sinai and in the Golan Heights, and publicly threatened to destroy Israel; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas in six days of war, Israel defeated those forces seeking its destruction and reunited the city of Jerusalem which had been artificially divided for 19 years; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas Jerusalem has been the focal point of Jewish religious devotion and the site of a continuous Jewish presence for over three millennia, with a Jewish majority since at least 1896; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas Jerusalem is a holy city for the Christian and Muslim faiths; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas the vibrant Jewish population of the historic Old City of Jerusalem was driven out by force during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas from 1948 to 1967 Jerusalem was a divided city, and Israeli citizens of all faiths as well as Jews of all nationalities were denied access to holy sites in eastern Jerusalem , including the Old City, in which the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are located; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas this year marks the 40th year that Jerusalem has been administered as a unified city in which the rights of all faiths have been respected; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-45), which became law on November 8, 1995, states as a matter of United States policy that Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected; and <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Whereas it is the policy of the United States to support a peaceful, two-state solution to end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians: Now, therefore, be it <\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\tResolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),<\/i> That Congress–\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t(1) congratulates the citizens of Israel on the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War in which Israel defeated enemies aiming to destroy the Jewish State;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t(2) congratulates the residents of Jerusalem and the people of Israel on the 40th anniversary of the reunification of that historic city;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t(3) commends those former combatant states of the Six Day War, Egypt and Jordan, who in subsequent years had the wisdom and courage to embrace a vision of peace and coexistence with Israel;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t(4) commends Israel for its administration of the undivided city of Jerusalem for the past 40 years, during which Israel has respected the rights of all religious groups;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t(5) reiterates its commitment to the provisions of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 and calls upon the President and all United States officials to abide by its provisions; and\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t(6) urges the Palestinians and Arab countries to join with Israel in peace negotiations to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict, including realization of the vision of two democratic states, Israeli and Palestinian, living side-by-side in peace and security.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n

Passed the House of Representatives June 5, 2007. <\/p><\/div>\n
