H. Res. 786, also known as the Ceasefire Now Resolution, was a proposed resolution in the United States House of Representatives. The resolution was introduced by Cori Bush (D-MO) in the 118th Congress in October 2023.[1]

The resolution calls the killing of civilians a violation of international law, cites the deaths of Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans and the potential for more deaths as reason for a ceasefire in the Gaza war, and calls for the sending of humanitarian aid to Gaza.[2]

Response

Politicians

The resolution received support from 17 Democratic representatives and no Republican support. President Biden initially rejected calls for a ceasefire, saying, "As long as Hamas clings to its ideology of destruction, a cease-fire is not peace."[3] Biden instead called for "humanitarian pauses."[4] Eventually he called for temporary ceasefires in February 2024,[5] and then an end to the war by May 2024.[6]

Public

As of November 30, 2023, 65% of Americans supported a ceasefire according to a YouGov poll.[7] "Ceasefire now" has become a slogan during American pro-Palestine protests.[8][9]

Local governments

As of March 2024, over 100 American localities had passed resolutions calling for a ceasefire in the war,[10] many of which were modeled on the Ceasefire Now resolution.[11]
