This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' solidarity with the people of Lebanon, condemning what it describes as an illegal invasion, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the State of Israel . It highlights a history of Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty, including major invasions and an 18-year occupation, culminating in recent devastating attacks in 2024 and a large-scale invasion in March 2026 that caused significant casualties and displaced over 1.2 million people. The resolution asserts that the Israeli military has committed war crimes, such as wanton destruction, forcible displacement, targeting civilians and medical facilities, and the use of white phosphorus. It also points to statements by Israeli officials indicating intentions for territorial expansion, occupation, and annexation of Lebanese territory, comparing their plans to actions taken in Gaza. To address these concerns, the resolution calls for the United States to use its immense leverage to force an immediate and total withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, end all Israeli airstrikes, and cease unauthorized U.S. participation in hostilities. It further demands a denouncement of territorial expansion, a cessation of arms, equipment, and logistical support to Israel due to alleged violations of U.S. laws, and the investigation and prosecution of suspected war crimes. Finally, it urges the delivery of unconditional humanitarian and reconstruction aid to the Lebanese people, facilitating the safe return of displaced individuals, and extending Temporary Protected Status for Lebanese nationals in the U.S.
