S. Res. 890 is a Senate resolution condemning Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which killed approximately 1,200 people including 40 U.S. citizens and took 251 hostages. The resolution expresses support for Israel's right to defend itself and calls for the complete elimination of Hamas's ability to operate in the region, as well as the safe release of all American hostages held in Gaza. It also condemns Hamas for alleged war crimes including sexual violence against hostages, antisemitic protests in the United States, and ongoing attacks by Iranian-backed terrorist groups that have killed U.S. military personnel. The resolution does not authorize funding or establish timelines, as it is a symbolic statement of Senate sentiment rather than legislation that implements policy or appropriates money. The resolution was introduced by Senator Ernst and more than 40 other senators, nearly all Republican.
