Calling on the people of the United States to observe a weekend of prayer and reflection for the people of Israel, for all civilians caught in the crossfires of the war, and for the safe return of the hostages.
HRES 887 is a symbolic resolution calling on the American public to observe a weekend of prayer and reflection from November 17-19, 2023. It specifically urges people to pray for Israelis affected by the October 7 Hamas attack, civilians in Gaza caught in the conflict, and the safe return of hostages. The resolution does not create new laws, allocate funds, or impose obligations - it is a non-binding request for public reflection. As a procedural resolution, it directly addresses U.S. citizens without affecting any specific government programs or policies.
