S 4095 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Justice for Hind Rajab Act

This bill requires the Secretary of State to investigate and report to Congress about the January 29, 2024, attack in Gaza City that killed 5-year-old Hind Rajab and two paramedics, specifically examining whether the incident involved war crimes and the use of U.S.-origin weapons. It mandates that if credible evidence suggests the attack constituted war crimes involving U.S. weapons, personnel, or training, the Secretary must refer the matter to the Attorney General for potential prosecution under U.S. law. The legislation also directs the State Department to compile a detailed report within 45 days covering the identities of involved Israeli units, their motivations, any U.S. actions taken, and whether the incident meets the legal threshold for a gross human rights violation that could affect U.S. military aid. Additionally, the bill expresses congressional support for compensation to the victims' families from the Israeli government and the U.S. government if U.S. weapons were involved.
