Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
H.Res. 413 is a House resolution condemning Hamas for its October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks on Israel and calling for the immediate release of remaining hostages. The resolution documents Hamas's attack that killed over 1,200 people and wounded nearly 4,000, as well as the abduction of more than 250 hostages from multiple countries, including four American citizens. According to the resolution, 58 hostages remain in captivity, with reports indicating they have been subjected to poor conditions, psychological torture, sexual violence, and threats of execution. The resolution demands that Hamas release all remaining hostages, provide them medical care, and return the bodies of deceased hostages to their families. There is no direct federal funding associated with this resolution, as it is a statement of congressional condemnation rather than legislation appropriating money or creating new programs; the resolution calls on the White House to continue diplomatic efforts to secure hostage releases.
