Condemning the Hamas-led terrorist attack on the State of Israel on October 7, 2023, and calling for Hamas to immediately and unconditionally surrender, cease its attacks, and safely release all hostages.

HRES 889 is a symbolic resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives expressing strong disapproval of Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and over 240 hostages taken. It calls directly on Hamas to immediately surrender, stop attacks, and release all hostages, referencing Hamas's designation as a U.S. Foreign Terrorist Organization. The resolution has no legal force or new requirements - it solely states congressional condemnation and urges Hamas to comply with international norms. It does not impose sanctions, direct military action, or alter U.S. policy toward Israel or Gaza.
