S.Res. 438 is a Senate resolution that condemns the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and expresses support for specific outcomes in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The resolution details Hamas's attack, which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths (including 40 U.S. citizens) and 251 hostages taken, and affirms Israel's right to defend itself. The resolution also condemns antisemitic and anti-American protests within the United States, while commending ongoing cease-fire negotiations. Finally, it expresses Senate support for an outcome that ensures Israel's survival, prevents Hamas from reconstituting as a governing force in the region, and secures the release of all remaining hostages, including two deceased U.S. citizens. This is a nonbinding resolution expressing the Senate's position rather than legislation that creates law or authorizes spending.
