|---|
| 4 | 4 | | 2023 SENATE JOINT RESOLUTIO N 92 |
|---|
| 5 | 5 | | November 21, 2023 - Introduced by Senator L ARSON, cosponsored by |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | Representatives HONG, MADISON, CLANCY, JOERS, MYERS, MOORE OMOKUNDE, |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | SHELTON, STUBBS and WICHGERS. Referred to Committee on Senate |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | Organization. |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | Relating to: a call for an immediate de-escalation and cease-fire in Israel and in |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | Gaza and the West Bank. |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | Whereas, all human life is precious, and the targeting of civilians, no matter |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | their faith or ethnicity, is a violation of international humanitarian law; and |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | Whereas, between October 7 and October 23, 2023, armed violence has claimed |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | the lives of over 5,000 Palestinians and over 1,400 Israelis, including Americans, and |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | wounded thousands more; and |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | Whereas, this violence is an extension of a decades-long conflict stemming from |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | failed policies inflicted on both Israelis and Palestinians; and |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | Whereas, hundreds of thousands of lives are at imminent risk if a cease-fire is |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | not achieved and humanitarian aid is not delivered without delay; and |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | Whereas, this conflict is perpetuating a dangerous and costly lack of access to |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | basic housing needs, compounding this health and humanitarian crisis; and |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | Whereas, the federal government holds immense diplomatic power to save |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | Israeli and Palestinian lives; now, therefore, be it |

|---|
| 47 | 47 | | release of all hostages and cessation of hostilities toward civilians by all parties in |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | this war; and, be it further |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | Resolved, That the Wisconsin Legislature urges support for promptly sending |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | and facilitating the entry of humanitarian assistance including food, water, and |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | medical supplies into Gaza; and, be it further |
|---|
