Senate Resolution No. 785

BY: Senator MAYER

CONGRATULATING the State of Israel upon the
occasion of the 75th Anniversary of its independence
and reaffirming the bonds of friendship and
cooperation between the State of New York and Israel

WHEREAS, April 26, 2023, marks the 75th Anniversary of the founding
of the modern State of Israel in the ancestral home of the Jewish
people; and

WHEREAS, On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly
voted to partition the British Mandate of Palestine, and through that
vote, to create the State of Israel; and

WHEREAS, Israel was officially declared an independent nation on May
14, 1948, and the modern State of Israel was born out of the ashes of
the Holocaust and World War II where the death of six million Jews did
not eliminate the will of a people to seek dignity in life and a place
of respect and recognition; and

WHEREAS, In its 75 years of statehood, Israel has established a
modern parliamentary democracy, which has been preserved through the
vigilance of its people and their strong cultural commitment to
democratic norms; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate the State of Israel upon the occasion of the 75th
Anniversary of its independence and reaffirming the bonds of friendship
and cooperation between the State of New York and Israel, as well as
commitment to peace in the region, dignity for Israel, its neighbors and
throughout the world.
