Expressing concerns regarding the urgent and escalating threats facing Coptic Christians.

The House resolution highlights the urgent threats faced by the Coptic Christian community, the largest non‑Muslim group in Egypt, and calls for immediate action to protect their civil and religious rights. It urges the Egyptian government to treat Coptic Christians as equal citizens, to end the culture of impunity for attacks, and to prosecute offenders with the same rigor applied to other crimes. The resolution cites systemic restrictions on religious freedom, frequent arrests on blasphemy charges, and widespread violence that is rarely punished, especially in rural areas. It stresses that the United States has a strategic interest in promoting human rights and the rule of law in Egypt as part of its broader effort to counter terrorism and maintain regional stability. By reaffirming the U.S.–Egypt partnership, the resolution seeks to strengthen diplomatic engagement and support for religious minorities in the region.
