Bill > HRes876

This resolution recognizes the alleged genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel, drawing on the United Nations Genocide Convention and extensive evidence of potential genocidal actions. The resolution details numerous findings, including the killing of over 67,160 Palestinians (mostly women and children), the destruction of infrastructure, systematic displacement, and forced starvation. It cites statements from Israeli officials that allegedly demonstrate intent to destroy the Palestinian population, and references findings from international organizations like the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry and the International Association of Genocide Scholars. The resolution calls on the United States to officially recognize these actions as genocide and to take specific steps to prevent and punish such actions, including: ceasing arms transfers to Israel, ensuring compliance with International Court of Justice measures, investigating potential genocide-related crimes, using diplomatic channels to advance prevention efforts, and ensuring humanitarian support for Palestinians. The document emphasizes the United States' legal obligations under the Genocide Convention and urges comprehensive action to address what it describes as ongoing genocidal actions in Gaza.
