Condemning the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, and calling for Hamas and its leaders to immediately and unconditionally surrender and to release the hostages, including Americans.

Summary

Primarily records detailed findings about Hamas-led attacks, related Iran-backed proxy activity, hostage takings, and civilian harm from October 7, 2023 through June 2025, and recounts U.S. and regional responses. The text documents specific killings, hostage recoveries and releases, rocket and missile strikes, cease-fires, and incidents affecting Jewish communities and diaspora. The measure is a factual preamble-style resolution rather than a lawmaking or funding measure: it summarizes events, names groups involved, and affirms policy context (including the U.S. designation of Hamas as a foreign terrorist organization) but does not create new programs, authorize spending, or impose legal requirements.
