H. Res. 1143

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 18, 2024.
Whereas, beginning on April 13, 2024, Iran for the first time ever launched a 
        direct attack on Israel that included over 350 missiles and drones 
        launched directly from Iran and its proxies toward Israel;
Whereas this direct attack on Israel followed: Iran-backed Hamas' massive, 
        unprovoked attack on Israel on October 7 that killed over 1,200 people; 
        months of cross-border attacks from Iran-backed Hezbollah into Israel 
        from Lebanon; over 170 attacks on United States troops in the Middle 
        East by Iran-backed militias since October; and months of Iran-backed 
        Houthi missile and drone attacks on global shipping;
Whereas 99 percent of the projectiles fired at Israel were intercepted by 
        Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Jordan, 
        minimizing casualties and other damage from this unprecedented, brazen 
        attack by Iran;
Whereas Israel intercepted these missiles and drones using a variety of air 
        defense systems and other defense articles, including many procured from 
        or co-produced with the United States, demonstrating the vital 
        importance of the United States and Israel's security partnership; and
Whereas Israel is a major non-NATO ally and Major Strategic Partner of the 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns Iran's unprecedented drone and missile attack on 
        Israel;
            (2) reaffirms and supports Israel's right to self-defense;
            (3) stands with Israel as it defends itself against Iran's attack 
        and seeks to re-establish deterrence against Iran and its proxies;
            (4) fully supports Israel's right to respond to this aggression 
        through military, diplomatic, economic, and other necessary means;
            (5) calls on all countries to unequivocally condemn Iran's attack on 
        Israel;
            (6) commends the United States military, the United Kingdom, France, 
        and Jordan for intercepting Iranian missiles and drones and thereby 
        limiting the damage from this unprecedented attack on Israel;
            (7) reaffirms the United States commitment to Israel's security, 
        including through security assistance and defense sales;
            (8) urges full enforcement of United States sanctions and export 
        controls against Iran to impede Iran's nuclear program, missile and 
        drone development, and funding of terrorist groups and proxies, 
        including Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and 
        militias in Iraq and Syria; and
            (9) stands ready to assist Israel with emergency resupply and other 
        security, diplomatic, and intelligence support.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
