Arizona Legislature recognizes Judea and Samaria (commonly called the West Bank) as the legitimate historical and biblical names for the region, formally rejecting "West Bank" as a political construct imposed during Jordan's 1948-1967 occupation.

Resolution directs the use of "Judea" and "Samaria" in all official Arizona state communications, documents, and references regarding these territories.

Cites the San Remo Resolution of 1920 and League of Nations Mandate for Palestine as legal basis for Israeli sovereignty, arguing these remain binding under Article 80 of the UN Charter.

Asserts strategic importance of the region to Israeli defense, noting Israel is only 9 miles wide at its narrowest point without these territories.

Frames support for Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria as aligned with Judeo-Christian values, American constitutional democracy, and U.S. strategic interests in preventing "another terrorist-controlled state" in the Middle East.
