RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria Act
HR 7552, the "RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria Act," is a procedural bill requiring the U.S. government to replace the term "West Bank" with "Judea and Samaria" in all official documents, communications, and policy materials after enactment. It prohibits federal funds from being used to prepare or distribute any materials using "West Bank," with limited exceptions for international treaty obligations and a Secretary of State waiver process. The bill amends multiple laws (including the Foreign Assistance Act and Taylor Force Act) to update terminology throughout U.S. legal texts. This is a terminology change affecting government communications, not a policy altering territorial status or impacting individuals.
