In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

House Resolution 876 proposes that the United States officially recognize that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The resolution cites evidence of mass casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and forced starvation. It asserts that the U.S. has a legal obligation under the Genocide Convention to prevent and punish such crimes. To meet this obligation, the resolution suggests stopping arms transfers to Israel and cooperating with the International Criminal Court. It also calls for the robust funding of UNRWA to address humanitarian needs.
