HRES 771 United States House · 118th Congress

Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists.

HRES 771 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for Israel following Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack. It condemns Hamas' actions, affirms Israel's right to self-defense, and calls for the immediate release of hostages. The resolution also urges enforcement of existing laws restricting aid to terrorists and sanctions against Iran for supporting Hamas. It does not create new policies or allocate funds, as it is a symbolic statement of congressional support.

MODERATE

The changes between the Introduced and Engrossed versions of HRES 771 are purely technical and formatting in nature. The engrossed version reformatting the document into standard legislative layout, removing the co-sponsor list and committee referral line, making minor punctuation corrections (removing commas after 'Whereas,' adding a possessive apostrophe to 'United States'), and adding the Clerk's signature block. No substantive policy content was altered.

TECHNICAL

Document reformatted from inline introduced format to standard engrossed legislative layout with proper line breaks and section spacing.

The full list of co-sponsors (approximately 400 members) and the 'Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs' line were removed, as is standard when a bill moves to engrossed status.

Minor punctuation fixes: commas after 'Whereas' were removed in several places, and 'United States commitment' was corrected to 'United States' commitment' (possessive).

Clerk's signature block ('Cheryl L. Johnson, Clerk') was added at the end of the engrossed version.
