The resolution urges Congress to restrict the sale of U.S. arms to Israel and calls on the U.S. Secretary of State to reinstate visitor visas for individuals from Gaza. It references the United States' commitment to the Genocide Convention and highlights claims from humanitarian groups and scholars that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The resolution points out the significant financial support the U.S. has provided to Israel, which is alleged to be used in the ongoing violence against Palestinians, and emphasizes the need for Congress to utilize its powers to prohibit arms sales and to ensure that U.S. taxpayer money is not used to facilitate such actions.
Additionally, the resolution stresses the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, citing the deaths of Palestinians and the dire conditions faced by children in need of medical care. It calls for immediate action to allow these individuals access to necessary treatment in the U.S. and urges the federal government to uphold its obligations under international law to prevent and punish genocide. The resolution concludes with a request for a response from key congressional leaders regarding the actions proposed within the resolution.
