It is the sense of Congress that— building a viable Palestinian economy is central to the effort to preserve the possibility of a negotiated settlement leading to a sustainable two-state solution with the democratic, Jewish state of Israel and a demilitarized, democratic Palestinian state living side-by-side in peace, security, and mutual recognition; United States and international support for grassroots, people-to-people efforts aimed at fostering tolerance, and building support for a such solution, can help counter extremist propaganda and the growing issue of incitement; strengthening engagement between Palestinians, Israelis, and through people-to-people peace-building programs can increase the bonds of friendship and understanding; investing in the development of the Palestinian economy and in joint economic ventures can advance multiple sectors to the benefit of local, regional, and global parties; and Congress encourages cooperation between Palestinian, American, and Israeli business sectors in order to benefit the Palestinian, American, and Israeli peoples and economies.
