Commemorates anniversary of October 7th attack on Israel.
New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 159 commemorates the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which killed 1,200 people (including American citizens) and took hostages. The resolution mourns the victims, condemns terrorism, stands in solidarity with both Israelis and Palestinians affected by the conflict, and calls for the release of all hostages and support for a peaceful resolution. It directs that copies be sent to Israel's U.S. Ambassador, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, and New Jersey's congressional representatives. As a symbolic gesture, it does not enact new laws or directly affect any group with policy changes.
