Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This House resolution condemns the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel that killed over 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, including Americans. The resolution calls on Hamas to immediately and unconditionally surrender, cease attacks on Israel, and release all remaining hostages, including seven American citizens still held captive. It affirms Israel's right to defend itself against terrorist organizations and Iranian-backed proxy groups, while committing to ensure humanitarian aid reaches Palestinian civilians. The resolution also condemns rising antisemitism globally following the attacks and calls on international organizations and nations to denounce Hamas and demand hostage releases. This is a congressional statement of position that requires no funding or implementation timeline, as resolutions express the sense of Congress rather than creating binding law or appropriating funds.
