HRES 876 United States House · 119th Congress

Recognizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

HRES 876 is a non-binding House resolution calling on the U.S. government to formally recognize Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide under the Genocide Convention. It directs the U.S. to cease arms transfers to Israel where genocide is suspected, ensure Israel complies with International Court of Justice orders, investigate potential genocide-related crimes, and support UNRWA funding. The resolution specifically cites findings from the UN Commission of Inquiry, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and major human rights organizations regarding Israel's conduct. It affects U.S. foreign policy and military aid decisions toward Israel, requiring the administration to take concrete steps to fulfill U.S. legal obligations under the Genocide Convention. The resolution does not alter U.S. law but sets a policy stance for congressional action.
