This resolution affirms the Senate's position that Hamas must not retain political or military control in Gaza. It calls on the President to use economic and diplomatic tools to cut off all funding to Hamas, including from Iran, and expresses support for Israel's defense against Hamas and Iranian-backed groups.
This non-binding resolution signals Senate consensus on denying Hamas governance authority post-conflict, which shapes the political framework for any Gaza reconstruction or transitional governance. It also commits the chamber to a position on Iran funding cutoffs that could influence future sanctions or diplomatic negotiations.
