SRES 504 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution requesting information on Israel's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

This Senate resolution requests the State Department to provide detailed information about Israel's human rights practices in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, conflict. It specifically asks for data on alleged human rights violations, a list of U.S. weapons supplied to Israel since October 7 (including bomb types and quantities), and assessments of Israel's compliance with international human rights law during military operations. The information must include whether U.S. security aid should continue amid concerns about civilian impact, and an evaluation of end-use monitoring for weapons. This procedural request, under the Foreign Assistance Act, aims to inform potential decisions on U.S. security assistance to Israel.
