Joint Resolution of Congress for the Temple Mount
Proposed Text for Joint Resolution of Congress on the Status of the Temple Mount
Whereas the Temple Mount is the holiest site to the Jewish Nation;
Whereas the Temple Mount is the site of the Jewish Temple destroyed first by Babylon in 587 BCE and again by Rome in 69 CE; and whereas the Jewish People have never abandoned hope of returning to the site of their ruined Temple.
Whereas the liberation of the Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967 was not only an act of self-defense, but an historic act of justice in restoring the Jewish Nation to their holiest site.
Whereas the current 'status quo' denies the historic longing and aspiration of the Jewish Nation to once again pray and worship at the site of their ancient Temple; and whereas the continued Palestinian violence, incitement and destruction of Temple antiquities on the Mount constitutes a grave desecration of the holy site.
Resolved that the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress shall fully support the freedom of peaceful Jewish prayer, worship and assembly on the Temple Mount and calls for the Administration to make this position known to the Government of Israel and the International Community.
