A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE THE ENDURING FRIENDSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP 
BETWEEN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

Whereas, Israel, though 
one of the smallest countries in the world by geography and population, is 
globally renowned for its leadership in innovation, technology, and 
entrepreneurship, ranking among the world's highest in start-ups per capita; 
and

Whereas, Israel is 
recognized as an "Impact Nation," leveraging its technological advancements to 
confront global challenges, including sustainable energy, water management, 
cybersecurity, agriculture, and medical innovation, thereby benefiting not only 
its own citizens but also communities worldwide; and

Whereas, the State of 
Israel, a beacon of democracy in the Middle East, is the United States' 
greatest and most reliable ally in the region, sharing with our nation a 
steadfast commitment to freedom, peace, security, and civil rights for all 
citizens; and

Whereas, the special 
relationship between the United States and Israel is rooted in shared 
democratic values and mutual aspirations for progress, liberty, justice, and 
security; and

Whereas, the bond 
between South Carolina and Israel continues to grow through robust economic, 
academic, and cultural exchanges, exemplified by partnerships such as the 
Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Medical University of South 
Carolina (MUSC), Rambam Health Care Campus, and the Technion Israel Institute 
of Technology, advancing medical research and technological innovation in 
cardiovascular medicine; and

Whereas, Israeli 
companies across various sectors -- including technology, automotive, plastics, 
and agriculture -- have established operations in South Carolina, contributing 
to the state's economic development and workforce expansion; and

Whereas, the United 
States is a nation shaped by immigrants, and Israeli Americans bring vital 
contributions in innovation, science, and entrepreneurship that enhance our 
state's prosperity and global competitiveness; and

Whereas, the citizens 
of South Carolina share a deep and abiding friendship with the people of Israel 
and welcome all opportunities to deepen this relationship through cultural, 
academic, and business endeavors; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives believes in the value of fostering dialogue, 
cooperation, and collaboration between our State and the State of Israel for 
the mutual benefit of both peoples; and

Whereas, to further 
strengthen bilateral ties and advance mutual interests, the bipartisan and 
bicameral South Carolina-Israel Caucus for members of the South Carolina 
General Assembly was established on April 8, 2025. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
the enduring friendship and partnership between the State of South Carolina and 
the State of Israel.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to the Israeli Consulate to the Southeastern United States.
