RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria Act

S 5431, the "RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria Act," requires the U.S. government to replace the term "West Bank" with "Judea and Samaria" in all official materials, including policy documents, regulations, and communications. It prohibits using "West Bank" in government work products after enactment, with limited exceptions for international treaty obligations and a waiver process for the Secretary of State. The bill mandates conforming changes to multiple existing laws, such as the Foreign Assistance Act and the Taylor Force Act, to update references to the territory. This is a procedural bill focused solely on terminology, not policy changes regarding the territory. It does not alter U.S. positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or land status.
