Assembly Resolution No. 509

BY: M. of A. Rozic

 CONGRATULATING the State of Israel on the 77th
 Anniversary of its establishment and reaffirming the
 bonds of friendship, cooperation, and shared values
 between the people of the State of New York and
 Israel

 WHEREAS, 2025, marks the 77th Anniversary of the establishment 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, in fulfillment of the eternal desire of the Jewish people to
return to the land of the historic Kingdom of Israel established 3,000
years ago and to the holy city of Jerusalem; and

 WHEREAS, On the same day in 1948, only 11 minutes later, the United
States recognized the new State of Israel and established full
diplomatic relations with Israel; and

 WHEREAS, For more than 2,000 years, there has been continuous Jewish
presence and residence in the land comprising the modern State of
Israel; and

 WHEREAS, A century ago at the First Zionist Congress, in Basel,
Switzerland, participants under the leadership of Theodore Herzl
affirmed the desire to reestablish a Jewish homeland in the historic
land of Israel; and

 WHEREAS, The modern State of Israel was created just a few years
after the Holocaust and World War II, where the death of six million
Jews did not eliminate the will of the Jewish People to seek dignity in
life and a place of respect and recognition among the people of the
world; and

 WHEREAS, Israel, since its inception, when the combined forces of
five Arab nations invaded to destroy the dream of the Jewish people,
continues to face the hostility, and frequently through the years of its
statehood, the armed aggression, of its neighbors; and

 WHEREAS, Despite these conflicts, in the 77 years since its
establishment, the modern State of Israel has rebuilt a nation, forged a
new and dynamic society, and created a unique and vital economic,
political, cultural and intellectual life despite the heavy cost of six
wars, terrorism, international ostracism and economic boycotts; and

 WHEREAS, In its 77 years of statehood, Israel has established a
modern parliamentary democracy and has become the most successful
democracy in the Middle East, and has provided its citizens with the

highest standards of living and human equality in a region otherwise
beset with poverty and human rights abuses; and

 WHEREAS, Israel has made significant global contributions in the
fields of science,
