H. Res. 769 is a non-binding House resolution expressing formal support for the State of Palestine. It states that Palestinians have a right to exist and to become a sovereign nation in the future. It endorses the two-state solution as the sole path to lasting peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and rejects calls for Palestine’s destruction. The resolution references historical milestones (UN Partition Plan of 1947, Israel’s declaration of statehood in 1948) and notes a prior House resolution affirming Israel’s right to exist. As a resolution, it is a statement of policy and does not create or fund government programs, nor does it grant recognition of statehood by itself.
