Expresses support for end to hostilities between Israel and Palestine, and hopes for peace and respect between Israel and Palestine.
SJR 77 is a symbolic resolution expressing New Jersey's support for ending hostilities between Israel and Palestine and promoting peace. It directly affects all New Jersey residents, particularly Jewish, Palestinian, Israeli, Arab, and Muslim communities, by condemning hate and bigotry while affirming the Legislature's commitment to "stand up for the other" against discrimination. Key provisions include extending condolences for lives lost since October 7, 2023, pledging to challenge hate speech, and sending copies to the U.S. President and New Jersey's congressional delegation. This resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally states the Legislature's position on the conflict. It is a non-binding statement of support for peace and respect, adopted immediately upon introduction.
