Progress
Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary
Condemns acts of terrorism against Israelis.
Mourns all loss of innocent life on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Supports the Administration's efforts to ensure Israel's long-term security through military and intelligence cooperation.
Encourages the United States to take further steps to enhance Israel's security, including:
- reconvening the Trilateral Commission on Incitement to address violence-inspiring rhetoric;
- maintaining U.S. assistance to train and help support the operational costs of Palestinian security forces cooperating with Israeli security forces to fight terrorism; and
- working with Israel on enhancing areas of cooperation that would facilitate greater freedom of movement, economic growth, access to water, and other elements of human security for Palestinians living in the West Bank.
Encourages the United States to help create progress toward a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by:
- opposing Palestinian efforts to seek penalties and sanctions against Israel and Israelis before international tribunals such as the International Criminal Court,
