| 114-hconres-165 | 114 | hconres | 165 | Expressing the sense of Congress and reaffirming longstanding United States policy in support of a direct bilaterally negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and opposition to United Nations Security Council resolutions imposing a solution to the conflict. | International Affairs | 2016-09-28 | 2016-11-30 | Received in the Senate. | House | Rep.
