SCR 13 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

URGING THE MEMBERS OF HAWAII'S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO CALL FOR AN IMMEDIATE, PERMANENT BILATERAL CEASEFIRE IN GAZA AND THE RETURN OF ALL HOSTAGES, AND TO CONTINUE NEGOTIATIONS FOR LASTING PEACE IN THE REGION.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution urges Hawaii's congressional delegation and the Biden administration to support an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages. The bill calls for the U.S. government to facilitate the delivery of essential humanitarian aid, including food, water, fuel, and medical supplies, to the region. It also requests the initiation of negotiations aimed at achieving lasting peace in the area. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but serves as a formal expression of the state legislature's position on the ongoing conflict.
