House resolution relating to the end of apartheid and support for the people of Palestine and Israel in the resolution of conflict

This Vermont House resolution (H.R. 13) is a symbolic statement, not a binding law. It calls for a global ceasefire, truth and reconciliation processes, and an end to apartheid, specifically referencing concerns about Israeli conduct in Gaza as noted in a future-dated UN report (2025). The resolution directs Vermont’s House Clerk to send copies to U.S. President Trump, Israeli President Herzog, Palestinian Authority President Abbas, UN Secretary-General Guterres, and Vermont’s congressional delegation. It does not create new legal obligations but expresses Vermont’s support for conflict resolution between Palestinians and Israelis. The resolution cites Vermont’s historical opposition to apartheid (e.g., divestment from South Africa in 1986) as context for its position.
