General Assembly, Statement of Intent or Position - Affirms support for the State of Israel. -
SJR 722 is a symbolic resolution affirming the Tennessee General Assembly's support for Israel, specifically commemorating the return of all hostages following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks. It expresses solidarity with Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism and cites historical, economic (e.g., $95.7 million in Tennessee exports to Israel in 2025), and strategic ties between Tennessee and Israel. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but serves as a formal statement of legislative support.
