The Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act aims to officially designate the territories controlled by Israel since the 1967 Six-Day War as "Judea and Samaria," with the southern area referred to as "Judea" and the northern area as "Samaria." The bill prohibits state agencies from using the term "West Bank" in any official government materials, which includes guidance, rules, briefings, press releases, or communications prepared by state agencies.
Additionally, the bill outlines that state agencies are not allowed to use state funds to create materials that refer to these territories as the "West Bank." However, there is a provision allowing the executive head of a state agency to waive this prohibition if deemed in the state's interest, provided they submit a written explanation of the waiver within thirty days to the General Assembly or Legislative Council, depending on whether the General Assembly is in session.
