Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution condemns Lebanese Hezbollah for repeatedly violating ceasefire agreements through rocket, missile, and drone attacks against Israeli communities. It highlights that these actions endanger civilians and undermine Lebanese sovereignty. The resolution calls on the Lebanese Government and Armed Forces to ensure Hezbollah ceases all attacks and removes its weapons and military infrastructure from the South Litani Sector. Furthermore, it supports direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon. Finally, it reaffirms that the future relationship between these two nations should be decided by their sovereign governments rather than by outside actors like Iran or Hezbollah.
