Without objection. Mister Speaker, I rise today to offer House resolution 7217, the Israel Supplemental Appropriations act of 2024. This bill provides 17.6 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations which provide needed military assistance to America's great ally Israel and support us military forces operating in the region. On October 7, 2023, Hamas carried out a brutal, unprovoked terrorist attack on the people of Israel. The horrific acts committed on this day resulted in 1200 deaths, thousands injured and 240 hostages. (00:20–00:33)
