US Senator Tom Cotton has reintroduced proposed legislation to have the United States stop using the term 'West Bank' and instead use 'Judea and Samaria,' the biblical and historical name for these areas in Israel. The bill, called the 'Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act,' aims to acknowledge the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel and correct a historical injustice. Critics argue that the change would prejudice final status negotiations or undermine Palestinian claims, but supporters argue that it is a correction that aligns with US policy of historical accuracy and still allows for diplomatic options in any future peace negotiations.
