A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution condemns Israeli settlement expansion, land confiscation, home demolitions, and settler violence in the West Bank. It expresses concern regarding the actions of senior Israeli officials and the impact of these activities on the viability of a two-State solution. The resolution calls for the Government of Israel to halt home demolitions, cancel land confiscations in certain areas, and stop approving new settlements. It further urges the United States to use authorities to impose sanctions on individuals implicated in human rights abuses. Additionally, it suggests ending tax relief that indirectly subsidizes settlement activity. Finally, it calls for conditioning security assistance on a freeze of activities in the E1 corridor.
