The resolution, H.Res. 768, condemns Hamas' brutal war against Israel and expresses solidarity with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric attacks launched by Hamas and other terrorists.

In a statement, Rep. Webster emphasized the importance of U.S. support for Israel in countering the constant threats posed by Iranian-backed terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.

The U.S. support of Israel is indispensable in countering these constant threats."

The resolution highlights the need to condemn Hamas' actions and reinforces the United States' commitment to standing with Israel. It acknowledges the indiscriminate targeting of innocent civilians and emphasizes the importance of defending Israel's right to self-defense.

As the resolution moves forward, it represents a strong message of solidarity and support for Israel from the United States. It underscores the shared values and strategic partnership between the two nations.

The text of the resolution can be found on the House Foreign Affairs Committee's website.

This resolution serves as a reminder of the enduring alliance between the United States and Israel and the commitment to ensuring Israel's security and well-being. As the situation in the region continues to evolve, it is crucial for the international community to come together and condemn the actions of terrorist organizations like Hamas, while reaffirming support for Israel's right to defend itself.

The introduction of H.Res. 768 demonstrates the dedication of Congressman Webster and his colleagues to upholding these principles and standing with Israel in its fight against terrorism.
