ACKNOWLEDGING THE HISTORICAL AND WIDELY-RECOGNIZED NAMES OF "JUDEA" AND "SAMARIA" FOR THE TERRITORY COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE "WEST BANK".

This Hawaii state resolution asks state officials to use the terms "Judea" and "Samaria" instead of "West Bank" when referring to that territory in official communications. The bill does not create new laws or change U.S. foreign policy, but rather encourages a specific naming convention based on historical and legal significance. It requests that copies of the resolution be sent to various state and federal officials, including the U.S. Secretary of State and the Governor of Hawaii.
