Israel-Hamas War Crimes Deterrence and Accountability Act
This bill states that Hamas committed war crimes during its October 7, 2023, attack on Israel (including killing civilians and taking hostages) and directs U.S. agencies to collect evidence for potential prosecutions. It requires the President to submit a 90-day report detailing how U.S. departments coordinate evidence collection, share information with allies, and prepare for court requests related to these incidents. The report must cover agency roles, types of evidence gathered, and international cooperation efforts. This applies directly to U.S. government departments handling foreign policy, intelligence, and legal matters.
