A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States shall not deploy United States military assets or personnel to Gaza for purposes of "taking over" Gaza.
This resolution expresses the sense of the Senate that the United States should not deploy its military assets or personnel to Gaza with the objective of "taking over" the territory. It explicitly states that the U.S. should not risk American lives or expend funds to fulfill this pronounced objective, emphasizing the lack of congressional authorization required by law for such military force. The resolution highlights several concerns, including that asserting control over Gaza would fracture relations with regional partners, validate adversarial rhetoric, and foster higher levels of radicalization and terrorism. It also notes that the American people have no interest in a new, extended military deployment or expending billions of taxpayer dollars for operations in Gaza, nor in the forcible displacement of its population.
