Supporting the right of Israel to defend itself against terrorists and the Israeli construction of new security fences along the border of Egypt.

House Resolution 1241 is a non-binding measure expressing formal congressional support for Israel’s right to defend its borders and its decision to construct security fences and checkpoints along its boundaries with Egypt, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. The resolution officially recognizes these security measures as effective tools against terrorism while condemning hostile rhetoric and actions from Iranian leaders and terrorist organizations. If passed, the resolution would serve as a formal statement of U.S. foreign policy and a reaffirmation of the strategic alliance between the United States and Israel, though it would not authorize new funding or change domestic law.
