S.Res. 410 is a Senate resolution urging the President to officially recognize an independent, demilitarized Palestinian state as part of a two-state solution alongside Israel. The resolution, introduced by Senator Merkley and seven other senators, cites decades of United Nations resolutions and notes that over 140 countries already recognize Palestinian statehood, along with support from U.S. allies and Arab nations like Saudi Arabia. The resolution calls on the Palestinian Authority to hold elections in 2026 and implement democratic reforms, while also demanding that Hamas end its terrorism and Israel halt settlement expansion and military operations in Gaza. This is a non-binding resolution expressing Senate opinion rather than creating law or allocating funding, and it reflects the view that pursuing a two-state solution serves U.S. interests and offers an opportunity for broader regional peace.
