2	2	WHEREAS, The modern state of Israel is celebrating the 75th
3	3	anniversary of its founding in 2023; and
4	4	WHEREAS, In 1922, the League of Nations adopted a binding
5	5	resolution recognizing the legal basis for the establishment of
6	6	the modern state of Israel as a home for the Jewish people in the
7	7	historical region of the land of Israel, including the areas of
8	8	Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem; the resolution was
9	9	subsequently affirmed by both houses of the United States
10	10	Congress; and
11	11	WHEREAS, Ruled in ancient times by the kingdom of Israel,
12	12	this region has held a special place in the hearts of Jews for
13	13	more than two thousand years; while some maintained a Jewish
14	14	presence in the land during the long period of exile, members of
15	15	the global diaspora continued to feel a profound spiritual and
16	16	emotional connection; and
17	17	WHEREAS, Modern Israel took its place on the world stage on
18	18	May 14, 1948, following the decimation of European Jewry during
19	19	the Holocaust; the creation of the sovereign and independent
20	20	state of Israel provided a legally recognized homeland for the
21	21	Jewish people; in 1949, after Israel held its first election, the
22	22	United States government established full diplomatic relations
23	23	with the new country; ever since, our nations have remained close
24	24	allies, united by cultural values and strategic interests; and
25	25	WHEREAS, Guided by their own Declaration of Independence,
26	26	the people of Israel have developed a pluralistic, democratic
27	27	political system, a vibrant society, and an advanced,
28	28	entrepreneurial economy; the nation has taken in millions of Jews
29	29	from the diaspora and enjoys peaceful bilateral relations with
30	30	neighbors in the region, including Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain,
31	31	Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan; in times of need,
32	32	it sends humanitarian aid, search and rescue teams, mobile
33	33	hospitals, and emergency supplies to help the victims of
34	34	disasters; and
35	35	WHEREAS, Texans cherish a special friendship with Israel,
36	36	and the nation and the Lone Star State have strong economic ties;
37	37	Israel is one of Texas' strongest partners for trade and
38	38	investment in the Middle East, and top commodities exchanged
39	39	include industrial machinery, aircraft parts, and plastics; many
40	40	Israeli companies currently operate in Texas, notably in the
41	41	aerospace and energy sectors; and
42	42	WHEREAS, Texas and Israel share a profound commitment to
43	43	liberty, independence, and economic opportunity, and this bond
44	44	is sure to deepen in the years to come; now, therefore, be it
45	45	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
46	46	Legislature, hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of the
47	47	founding of the modern state of Israel.
