 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of Congress that:

  • a durable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process can only come through direct, bilateral negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians;
  • the U.N. cannot be a truly neutral arbiter of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and
  • the United States should veto any U.N. Security Council resolution that inserts the Security Council into the peace process, unilaterally recognizes a Palestinian state, makes declarations concerning Israeli controlled territories, or dictates terms and a time line for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
