Condemning the attack on the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in July 1994, and encouraging accountability for the attack.

Key Points

• This resolution officially condemns the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It honors the 85 people who died and the hundreds who were injured in the attack. It also calls for the people responsible to finally face justice after more than 30 years of delays.
• The resolution points to the terrorist group Hezbollah and the government of Iran as the ones behind the attack. It asks other countries to follow through on international arrest warrants for the suspects. Some of these suspects have held high-ranking positions in the Iranian government over the years.
• For decades, the investigation into this bombing was slowed down by cover-ups and corruption. Recently, Argentina has taken new steps to move forward, including passing a law that allows suspects to be tried even if they are not in the country. This resolution supports those new efforts to find the truth.
• By passing this, the House of Representatives shows support for the Jewish community in Argentina, which is the largest in Latin America. It also praises Argentina for labeling groups like Hamas and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorist organizations.
