Bill > SCR4021

This Concurrent Resolution affirms strong support for the State of Israel, recognizing its right to self-defense following the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, a group designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the United States, which killed civilians and took hostages. The resolution condemns Hamas's actions, including its alleged reliance on foreign state sponsors like Iran and its use of civilian areas and populations as shields, and supports Israel's right to eliminate Hamas without interference. It also expresses condolences to victims and their families, urges vigilance against crime and discrimination targeting Israeli and Jewish Americans, encourages other states to condemn Hamas, and calls for the U.S. to provide necessary assistance to Israel in its defense.
