A resolution condemning Hamas for its premeditated, coordinated, and brutal terrorist attacks on Israel and demanding that Hamas immediately release all hostages and return them to safety, and for other purposes.

This bipartisan resolution officially condemns the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel and demands the immediate and safe release of all hostages. It reaffirms the United States' support for Israel's right to defend itself and calls on the international community to join in condemning these acts of violence.

For everyday citizens, this measure serves as a formal statement of U.S. foreign policy and moral stance, signaling a unified congressional commitment to securing the return of American and international captives. While the resolution does not authorize new funding or military action, it pressures global leaders to isolate Hamas and prioritize the safety of those held in Gaza.
