<p>The GOP-led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> got back to business under the new reign of Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) on Wednesday by overwhelmingly approving a resolution in support of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a> in its war on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas</a> following the group&#8217;s deadly terrorist attacks on Israeli soil earlier this month.</p>
<p>House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) introduced the measure, &#8220;Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists,&#8221; which passed by a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">412-10</a> vote in a show of bipartisanship.</p>
<p>&#8220;The House just passed my bipartisan resolution condemning Hamas and its sponsors for their atrocities against humanity,&#8221; McCaul <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMcCaul/status/1717292506717499544" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;With the most cosponsors of any resolution ever, this measure sends a clear message across the globe: The U.S. stands with Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20231023/HRes%20771%20as%20introduced.pdf?utm_source=118th+Policy&amp;utm_campaign=29d1d5b89e-Legislative_Digest1_5_2016_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_80a21ea98d-29d1d5b89e-147680058" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> contains a number of provisions such as reaffirming Israel&#8217;s &#8220;right to self-defense,&#8221; seeking international disapproval of Hamas&#8217; actions, mourning the Israelis and Americans killed in the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, calling on Hamas to cease fire and release its hostages, condemning Iran and urging &#8220;full enforcement&#8221; of U.S. sanctions against the country for supporting terrorist groups, and declaring a readiness to &#8220;assist Israel with emergency resupply and other security, diplomatic, and intelligence support.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson said putting together the show of support for &#8220;our dear friend&#8221; Israel was <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1717253180696768774" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;overdue.&#8221;</a> He made the comments during a speech upon winning the gavel earlier on Wednesday, ending more than three weeks of the House being paralyzed when members voted Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) out as speaker.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Newly-elected House Speaker Mike Johnson tells members of Congress the first bill he plans to introduce will be a resolution stating support for Israel, amid its war with Hamas.</p>
<p>&quot;We&#39;re overdue in getting that done,&quot; he says. <a href="https://t.co/eYnAwZge2b">pic.twitter.com/eYnAwZge2b</a></p>

<p>Just one Republican — Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) — voted against the resolution. He explained his opposition in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1717270096710603198" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post to X</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I condemn the barbaric attack on Israel and I affirm Israel’s right to defend itself,&#8221; Massie said. The congressman then noted that he was opposing the resolution because of its call for sanctions against a &#8220;sovereign country,&#8221; &#8220;foreign aid commitments&#8221; at a time when the U.S. is &#8220;going bankrupt,&#8221; &#8220;open-ended promise of military support,&#8221; and because it &#8220;tends to broaden the conflict to other countries when it would be better to keep the war contained geographically.&#8221;</p>

<p>However, I will not be voting for House Resolution 771 today because:</p>
<p>1) It calls for sanctions on a sovereign country. Sanctions are a prelude to war and hurt the citizens of the country more…</p>

<p>Nine Democrats voted <a href="https://twitter.com/BillMelugin_/status/1717303736048185828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">against the resolution</a>, including members of the leftist &#8220;Squad.&#8221; They included: Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Cori Bush (D-MO), Andre Carson (D-IN), Al Green (D-TX), Summer Lee (D-PA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Delia Ramirez (D-IL), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Six others voted &#8220;present&#8221;: Reps. Greg Casar (D-TX), Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Chuy Garcia (D-IL), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Nydia Velazquez (D-NY).</p>
<p>Tlaib, the sole Palestinian-American member of Congress, claimed the resolution &#8220;is not a serious examination of the root causes of the violence we are witnessing and doubles down on decades of failed policy.&#8221; She called on the House to pass her <a href="https://bush.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-bush-tlaib-carson-lee-ramirez-lead-colleagues-in-call-for-immediate-ceasefire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Ceasefire Now Resolution&#8221;</a> supported by other leftist members who opposed McCaul&#8217;s measure.</p>
