This resolution recognizes the 1948 displacement of Palestinians (called the Nakba) as a historical and ongoing process, and calls on the US to officially commemorate it, support Palestinian refugee rights under UN resolutions, continue funding the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and condemn Israeli actions including settlement expansion and home demolitions in the West Bank.
This is a non-binding resolution that signals House sentiment on Palestinian refugee rights and frames Israeli settlements and displacement as violations of international law. It has no direct funding or legal force, but reflects growing congressional support for recognizing Palestinian historical claims and challenging US military aid policy toward Israel.
