H.Res. 839 is a congressional resolution condemning Hamas for executing and intimidating Palestinian civilians in Gaza following a ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10, 2025. The resolution states that Hamas has killed scores of civilians in an apparent effort to suppress dissent and maintain control over the territory. The House resolution does not authorize any spending or specific actions; rather, it expresses congressional disapproval of Hamas's conduct and reaffirms U.S. support for the ceasefire agreement and the pursuit of peace and stability for Gaza's civilian population. The measure was submitted by Representatives Gottheimer and Crawford and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. As a resolution expressing legislative sentiment rather than enacting policy or appropriating funds, it requires only House approval without involvement from the Senate or the President.
