     SEC. 1265. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON HUNGER IN GAZA.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the humanitarian crisis and acute suffering of the 
     Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the suffering of the 
     hostages and hostage families is gravely concerning; and
       (2) the President, the Secretary of State, and the heads of 
     other relevant United States Government agencies should 
     urgently use all available diplomatic tools to bring about 
     the release of the hostages, immediate cessation of the 
     blockade on food and humanitarian aid for Palestinian 
     civilians, and a durable end to the conflict in Gaza.
