Maddy summaryThis Massachusetts Senate resolution expresses the state's support for Israel and calls on the U.S. government to assist victims of the October 7 terrorist attacks. The document formally requests the safe return of individuals held hostage during the assault and condemns the actions taken by Hamas. It also highlights concerns over rising antisemitism and asks that a copy of the resolution be sent to the President and Congress. As a formal statement of solidarity rather than a law, the bill does not create new legal obligations or change existing policies.
