Condemning the heinous actions of Hamas and affirming the support of the United States for Israel's right to exist and defend itself.

HRES 789 is a non-binding House resolution condemning Hamas' October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel and affirming U.S. support for Israel's right to exist and defend itself. It specifically calls for international condemnation of Hamas, urges global support for Israel, and condemns antisemitism. The resolution does not create new laws but expresses congressional consensus through five formal statements, including reaffirming Israel's right to self-defense. It directly affects U.S. foreign policy rhetoric by reinforcing alignment with Israel's position on security matters.
