SR 106 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Recognizes Judea and Samaria as ancestral homeland of Jewish people.

This Senate Resolution formally recognizes Judea and Samaria as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people and instructs state officials to use these historical names instead of the term "West Bank." The bill relies on biblical references and historical claims to assert that the region is the core of Jewish identity and that the term "West Bank" is a political construct intended to erase that heritage. By adopting this terminology, the resolution aims to affirm the historical and legal legitimacy of the Jewish connection to the land within New Jersey's official communications.
