U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer from North Dakota, alongside Senator Joni Ernst and other Republican senators, introduced a resolution condemning the attack by Iran-backed Hamas on Israel that occurred a year ago. This attack resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and 251 hostages taken, with 97 still missing today, including seven Americans.

The resolution emphasizes the commitment to "ensure the forever survival of Israel; destroy the ability of Hamas to reconstitute any leadership role in the region; and safely release and return all United States hostages."

Senator Cramer remarked on the anniversary of the event: “As hard as it is to believe, it was one year ago today that Hamas launched an attack with the sole purpose of eradicating Israel, kidnapping and slaughtering thousands of Israeli citizens and dozens of Americans in the process.” He added that despite differing opinions, support for Israel remains steadfast. “Despite the reckless language of the left, we stand in support of Israel, unequivocally, our friend and our close ally. The United States must do everything we can to champion the continued existence and flourishing of Israel, and deny Hamas the opportunity to rebuild itself.”

The list of cosponsors includes numerous Republican senators such as John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL), among others.
