 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) only Israel can determine its security needs; (2) the final political status of the Palestinian entity can only be determined through bilateral negotiations and agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority; (3) the President must reaffirm that any such unilateral declaration of a Palestinian State would be a grievous violation of the Oslo Accords, would seriously impede any possibility of advancing the peace process, and would have severe negative consequences for Palestinian relations with the United States; and (4) the President should now publicly and unequivocally state that the United States will actively oppose such a unilateral declaration and will not extend recognition to any unilaterally declared Palestinian State.
