Congratulating President Donald J. Trump for achieving peace in the Middle East.
Mr. Moreno (for himself and Mr. Risch) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
Congratulating President Donald J. Trump for achieving peace in the Middle East.
Whereas Palestinian terrorists have attacked the State of Israel for more than 75 years;
Whereas Hamas launched a bombardment of more than 4,000 rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023;
Whereas Hamas killed approximately 1,200 civilians and kidnapped 251 individuals during the October 7 attack;
Whereas the rockets launched by Hamas were intended to massacre and strike fear into the hearts of innocent civilians in Israel;
Whereas, during the ensuing attack, 6,000 Gazans, including 3,800 Hamas terrorists, breached the border into Israel;
Whereas President Donald J. Trump continues to show the world what peace through strength means through his historic and bold actions;
Whereas President Trump led a coalition of nations and leaders throughout the Middle East and across the world to achieve a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas;
Whereas neither President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., nor his autopen were capable of bringing about a resolution to the conflict between Israel and Hamas;
Whereas, mere days before thousands of innocent civilians were murdered, kidnapped, or raped on October 7, 2023, Jake Sullivan, President Biden’s National Security Advisor, publicly bragged that “the Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades”;
Whereas no other United States president has been able to achieve the seismic accomplishment of bringing stability and security to the Middle East;
Whereas President Trump’s Abraham Accords laid the groundwork for this historic peace;
Whereas President Trump worked tirelessly to rescue United States nationals and other individuals who were barbarically kidnapped on October 7, 2023, and held in captivity in the tunnels of Gaza;
Whereas President Trump’s peace plan includes a political and economic roadmap for resolving the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict;
Whereas President Trump’s plan includes large scale investments and incentives to unleash prosperity throughout the region;
Whereas achieving peace in the Middle East and a truce between Israel and the Palestinians has eluded leaders for decades; and
Whereas the peace plan will bring tranquility and harmony to a region wrecked with turmoil: Now, therefore, be it
(1) congratulates President Donald J. Trump for the momentous achievement of reaching a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas;
(2) calls on all peace-loving individuals and nations to embrace President Trump’s peace plan; and
