This Senate Resolution expresses profound concern regarding the escalating humanitarian crisis and acute suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, alongside the plight of hostages and their families. It highlights severe issues such as widespread hunger, acute malnutrition among children, and the near-total collapse of the health system, exacerbated by a blockade preventing essential supplies like food, medicine, and fuel from entering Gaza since March 2025. The resolution urgently calls upon the White House , Department of State , and other relevant United States Government agencies to employ all available diplomatic tools. These tools should be used to achieve the immediate release of all hostages, ensure an immediate cessation of the blockade on food and humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians, and work towards a durable end to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
