The House passed a resolution Friday, November 16 that supports Israel's right to self-defense, in the wake of attacks on Israel by Hamas and Israel’s counter-attacks, The Hill reported. Members approved H.Res. 813 by a voice vote, and with no debate. The resolution was introduced Friday, and expresses “vigorous support and unwavering commitment to the welfare, security and survival of the state of Israel, as a Jewish and Democratic state with secure borders, and recognizing and strongly supporting its right to act in self-defense to protect its citizens against acts of terrorism.” The Senate approved a similar resolution late Thursday night.
