The American Congress is expected to vote on a resolution in the coming weeks expressing its support for the Balfour Declaration, on the 100-year anniversary of the British document lauded as one of the Zionist movement's greatest international achievements.
A text of the resolution, which has been obtained by Haaretz, states that Congress "commemorates the centenary of the Balfour Declaration; affirms its commitment to maintaining the strongest of bilateral ties with the state of Israel; and recognizes the importance of the establishment of the modern State of Israel as a secure and democratic homeland for the Jewish people."
The resolution states as its basis the fact that "the Jewish people have had a homeland in modern- day Israel for more than 3,000 years", and also mentions that "the Balfour Declaration clearly recognized and sought to uphold the ‘‘civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine,’’ as well as the ‘‘rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
The resolution is proposed by Senator James Lankford (R-OK) together with Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV).
