Reaffirming the State of Israel's right to exist.

House Resolution 888 is a non-binding measure that formally reaffirms the United States’ position regarding the State of Israel’s right to exist. The resolution officially recognizes that denying this right is a form of antisemitism, rejects any calls for the destruction of the Israeli state, and condemns the October 7, 2023, attacks led by Hamas.

As a resolution rather than a bill, this measure does not create new laws, authorize government spending, or change existing regulations for U.S. citizens. Instead, its practical impact is to establish an official sense of Congress, signaling the federal government's diplomatic stance and policy priorities regarding Middle East relations and the definition of antisemitism.
