Whereas it has been longstanding policy of the United States under both Democratic and Republican Administrations and Congresses that a durable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be achieved only through direct negotiations between two parties without preconditions;Whereas it has been longstanding policy of the United States under both Democratic and Republican Administrations and Congresses to promote a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through direct negotiations between the two parties;Whereas both Democratic and Republican-led Congresses have long appropriated funds to promote a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through direct negotiations between the two parties;Whereas it has been the longstanding policy of the United States under both Democratic and Republican Administrations and Congresses that a United Nations mandate to force a final status agreement to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is harmful and not appropriate; andWhereas this Congress would view any support by the United States Government for a United Nations effort to dictate conditions, details, or timelines for negotiations and a resolution between Israel and the Palestinian Authority as a violation of long-standing and sound United States policy: Now, therefore, be itThat it is the sense of the United States House of Representatives that a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should come from direct bilateral negotiations without preconditions and without interference from the United Nations.
