This resolution expresses the House's opposition to cease-fire calls in Gaza and takes a strong stance supporting Israel's military response to Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack. The resolution denounces what it characterizes as calls from progressive groups for a cease-fire and an independent Palestinian state, and it criticizes U.S. funding to Palestinian-related organizations and agencies, particularly the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The resolution calls for ending U.S. aid to UNRWA and other Palestinian entities until a comprehensive investigation is completed, citing concerns about Hamas operatives and the Palestinian Authority's alleged connections to terrorism. No specific funding allocations or timelines are outlined in the resolution, as it is primarily a statement of congressional opposition rather than legislation that appropriates money or establishes new programs.
