Bill > HRes796

This Resolution condemns foreign nationals in the United States who have supported or promoted the actions of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which carried out attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of innocent Israeli and United States citizens. The resolution highlights that entering the U.S. is a privilege and references existing U.S. law that makes individuals ineligible for entry if they endorse or support terrorist activity or organizations. It details the atrocities committed during the October 7th attacks, including the murder of at least 1,300 people and 30 U.S. citizens, and notes that some foreign nationals studying in the U.S. have celebrated these attacks. Therefore, the House of Representatives calls on the President to enforce existing laws to revoke visas and deport any foreign national who has endorsed or espoused the terrorist activities of these FTOs, affirms that Israel's actions are in self-defense and not equivalent to terrorism, rejects anti-Semitism, and commits to remembering the victims of the October 7th attacks.
