Bill > H0031

This Resolution urges the Biden administration to immediately call for and facilitate a de-escalation and cease-fire to end the current violence in the State of Israel and occupied Palestine, and to ensure the prompt delivery of humanitarian assistance into Gaza, recognizing the preciousness of all human life and the violation of international humanitarian law when civilians are targeted, as evidenced by the significant loss of life on both sides. Furthermore, it declares opposition to any legislation that would criminalize Floridians' rights to speak out against and protest human rights violations, affirming the protection of constitutional rights and the intention to repeal such laws. Finally, the Resolution advocates for the dignity and safety of all residents by vowing to combat racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and ethnonationalism in all their forms, reflecting Florida's elected leadership's responsibility to champion diplomacy, peace, and safety for everyone.
