,,iv #aacth ,,congress #b;d ,session ,h4 ,,res4 #fbb ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of ,,representatives ,june #ab1 #bjad ,mr4 ,franks of ,arizona 7for himself1 ,mrs4 ,bachmann1 ,mr4 ,lamborn1 ,mr4 ,johnson of ,ohio1 ,mr4 ,king of ,iowa1 ,mr4 ,collins of ,georgia1 ,mr4 ,roe of ,tennessee1 ,mr4 ,latta1 ,mr4 ,stockman1 ,mr4 ,pittenger1 ,mr4 ,posey1 ,mr4 ,barton1 ,mr4 ,neugebauer1 ,mr4 ,pitts1 ,mr4 ,gohmert1 ,mr4 ,barr1 and ,mr4 ,weber of ,texas7 submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs ,,resolution ,expressing the sense of the ,house of ,representatives regarding the national security interests of the ,united ,states and its allies and partners with respect to the ,palestinian ,authority4 ,whereas ,israel as a strategic partner and ally of the ,united ,states has made significant breakthroughs in advancing peace with its neighbors as exemplified with the ,peace ,treaties with ,egypt and the ,kingdom of ,jordan1 and demonstrated its complete determination and willingness to fully establish peace with the ,palestinians2 ,whereas since the signing of the ,oslo ,accords in #aiic1 the ,united ,states has committed more than #e1jjj1jjj1jjj in bilateral assistance to the ,palestinian ,authority in the hopes of encouraging a permanent peace treaty with the ,state of ,israel2 ,whereas since #bjjg1 the ,gaza ,strip has been ruled by the designated foreign terrorist organization1 ,hamas1 which has launched #aj1jjj rockets against ,israel2 ,whereas the ,palestinian ,authority has administered ,palestinians residing in the ,west ,bank1 ,judea and ,samaria1 with ,fatah as the leading ,palestinian political party and the largest faction of the ,palestinian ,liberation ,organization 7,,plo72 ,whereas ,president ,barack ,obama1 then ,senator1 said in his speech on ,june #d1 #bjjh1 ,the long road to peace requires ,palestinian partners committed to making the journey4 ,we must isolate ,hamas unless and until they renounce terrorism1 recognize ,israel's right to exist1 and abide by past agreements4 ,there is no room at the negotiating table for terrorist organizations42 ,whereas ,palestinian ,authority ,president ,mahmoud ,abbas has bypassed ,united ,states efforts to achieve peace between the ,palestinian ,authority and ,israel1 and is engaged in-- 7#a7 formation of a unity government with ,hamas and his own party1 ,fatah2 7#b7 pursuing statehood unilaterally at the ,united ,nations1 including applications and memberships to international institutions outside direct negotiations with ,israel2 7#c7 promoting anti-,united ,states incitement1 as well as1 anti-,israel incitement1 such as the ,,bds 7,boycott1 ,divestment1 and ,sanctions7 movement against ,israel2 and 7#d7 withholding reforms to advance religious freedom and recognition for all religions and ethnicities1 and reforms to open the political process through fair and responsible elections1 ensuring the freedom of speech1 the press1 and political assembly2 ,whereas today the ,palestinian ,authority is characterized by rampant corruption1 as a single-party police organization ruled by ,presidential degree1 non-tolerance of internal debate and criticism1 masters of internal oppression1 anti-democracy and religious freedom1 including the absence of national elections following the expiration of the current presidential term in ,january #bjji1 and therefore in the event of a creation of a ,palestinian state under the current ,palestinian ,authority it would be autocratic and totalitarian2 ,whereas the ,palestinian ,authority's ,law of the ,prisoner mandates and authorizes the payment of salaries and other forms of compensation to convicted terrorists or any other recipient designated by a power of attorney1 and the ,ministry of ,prisoners and programs of such ,ministry compensate and recognize convicted terrorists in ,israeli prisons and those of whom that have been released2 ,whereas the more carnage these terrorists inflict1 the greater is their compensation2 ,whereas the ,palestinian ,authority's highly advertised terrorist salary program incentivizes killings and bombings against innocent civilians1 which includes the murder of at least #ed ,united ,states citizens since #aiic and more than #hc injured2 ,whereas no aid is permitted for a power-sharing ,palestinian ,authority government that includes ,hamas as a member1 or that results from an agreement with ,hamas and over which ,hamas exercises undue influence1 unless the ,president certifies that the ,palestinian ,authority government1 including all ministers1 has accepted the following two principles described in section #fbj,k7b77#a7 of the ,foreign ,assistance ,act of #aifa 7as added by section #b7;b77#b7 of the ,palestinian ,anti-,terrorism ,act of #bjjf 7,public ,law #aji-ddf77-- 7#a7 recognition of the ,jewish state of ,israel's right to exist2 and 7#b7 acceptance of previous ,israeli-,palestinian agreements2 ,whereas annual appropriations legislation routinely contains conditions1 limitations1 and restrictions on ,united ,states assistance to the ,palestinian ,authority1 including-- 7#a7 not permitting assistance for ,hamas or a power-sharing government that includes ,hamas as a member2 7#b7 personnel located in ,gaza2 7#c7 if the ,palestinian ,authority government is ,hamas-controlled2 and 7#d7 if the ,palestinians obtain the same standing as member states or full membership as a member in the ,united ,nations or any specialized agency thereof1 except the ,united ,nations ,educational1 ,scientific1 and ,cultural ,organization 7,,unesco71 outside an agreement negotiated between ,israelis and ,palestinians2 and ,whereas ,hamas and ,fatah unification stands in contravention with ,united ,states laws3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that-- 7#a7 the ,house of ,representatives-- 7,a7 reaffirms ,united ,states law and annual appropriations legislation routinely containing conditions1 limitations1 and restrictions on ,united ,states assistance and cooperation to the ,palestinian ,authority2 7,b7 reaffirms the ,united ,states commitment to a sustainable democratic framework for peace decided through direct negotiations between ,israeli and ,palestinian leadership1 without the interference of ,hamas1 in keeping with ,united ,states commitments to democracy1 freedom1 and the rights of peoples of all faiths and religions2 and 7,c7 calls on the ,united ,states ,department of ,state to work closely with ,european partners and allies to support the simultaneous implementation of all necessary measures on suspending multilateral assistance and security cooperation to the ,palestinian ,authority2 and 7#b7 it is the sense of the ,house of ,representatives that-- 7,a7 since ,hamas and ,fatah have unified1 regardless of the unity government being made up of technocrats from ,hamas and ,fatah1 the ,secretary of ,state should1 if the unity government is not dissolved1 designate the ,palestinian ,authority and such unity government as a foreign terrorist organization1 and redesignate the ,palestinian ,liberation ,organization 7,,plo7 as a foreign terrorist organization2 and 7,b7 it is in the national security interests of the ,united ,states and its allies and partners that the following objectives and conditions should be achieved with respect to the ,palestinian ,authority1 including-- 7i7 the ,palestinian ,authority dissolving the unity government with ,hamas1 a long designated a foreign terrorist organization1 and for the ,palestinian ,authority to immediately renounce violence1 outlaw terrorist groups1 and re-enter into bilateral negotiations with the ,state of ,israel2 7ii7 the ,palestinian ,authority formally and publically issuing recognition of the ,jewish state of ,israel's right to exist and accepting previous ,israeli-,palestinian agreements1 and ending all anti-,united ,states incitement1 as well as1 anti-,israel incitement1 such as the ,,bds 7,boycott1 ,divestment1 and ,sanctions7 movement against ,israel2 7iii7 repealing the ,law of the ,prisoner and abolishing the ,ministry of ,prisoners and programs of such ,ministry relating to compensation and recognition of convicted terrorists and those of whom that have been released2 7iv7 rescinding the names and the naming of public institutions and civil projects1 such as schools1 streets1 sports teams1 and children camps after convicted terrorist and murders2 7v7 ending all efforts to circumvent the statehood process at the ,united ,nations1 including applications and memberships to international institutions outside direct negotiations with ,israel2 7vi7 enacting reforms to advance religious freedom1 and recognition for all religions and ethnicities1 ensuring the freedom of speech1 the press1 and political assembly1 and reforming to open the political process through fair and responsible elections without any influence or participation by ,hamas2 and 7vii7 abiding by all ,united ,states laws on foreign assistance to the ,palestinian ,authority4
