Expresses support for end to hostilities between Israel and Palestine, and hopes for peace and respect between Israel and Palestine.

SJR 68 is a symbolic resolution expressing New Jersey's support for ending the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine and promoting peace.

Key provisions include declaring zero tolerance for hate based on race, religion, or ethnicity, committing to the safety of Jewish, Palestinian, Israeli, Arab, and Muslim communities, and sending copies to federal leaders. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a public statement of solidarity and a call for peaceful coexistence. It was introduced in January 2024 and remains pending.
