WHEREAS, The United States of America is a world leader that
other nations look to for guidance, leadership, and example; and
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives believes that all
human life is precious, and the targeting of civilians, no matter
their faith or ethnicity, is a violation of international
humanitarian law; and
WHEREAS, War anywhere causes destruction and human
casualties; but the unintended consequence of the current
Israel-Hamas conflict has been the deaths of innocent civilians;
there have been reports of over 15,000 Palestinians and 1,200
Israelis, most of whom were newborns, children, women, and the
frail and elderly, causing a humanitarian crisis of epic
proportions; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby supports the preservation
of life and encourages the United States Congress and the President
of the United States to continue to facilitate negotiations to end
the conflict between Israel and Palestine so their citizens can
live peacefully; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the Chief Clerk of the House forward official
copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, to
the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the
members of the Texas delegation to congress with the request that
this resolution be entered in the Congressional Record as a
memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
