A U.S. representative reintroduced a resolution in the House of Representatives calling for official recognition of the Nakba and for legislators to denounce what the measure describes as an ongoing displacement of Palestinians. The resolution was timed to coincide with Nakba Day and includes provisions for U.S. lawmakers to support education about the events.
It further calls for the resumption of U.S. aid to UNRWA and for restrictions on the use of U.S.-supplied weapons against Palestinians.
Background on the Resolution The measure was presented as a follow-up to a previous version of the same resolution. It references events from 1948 and frames current conditions in the region as a continuation of those events. A photograph released with the announcement shows the representative seated next to another member of Congress during a February 2026 address by President Trump to a joint session of Congress.
The resolution does not specify a timeline for further legislative action.
