Bill overview
This resolution urges Americans to participate in a weekend of prayer and reflection to show support for the people of Israel, the civilians affected by the ongoing conflict, and the safe return of hostages. It acknowledges the horrific attacks by Hamas on Israel, including the deaths of over 1,400 Israelis and the taking of more than 240 hostages, many of whom are U.S. citizens. The resolution also recognizes the rise of antisemitism and highlights the strong alliance between the United States and Israel. It designates November 17-19, 2023, as a time for these collective prayers and reflections.
