Senator Rosen introduced this resolution following a bipartisan visit to Israel, where she met with families of those taken hostage by Hamas. She also urged the Senate to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2023\/10\/08\/in-wake-of-deadly-hamas-terrorist-attack-rosen-calls-for-action-to-help-israel-defend-itself\/\">approve supplemental funding for Israel\u2019s defense<\/a>.
