  • Families and civilians: Seeks to improve delivery of life‑saving aid to the hardest hit areas and reduce barriers that now block relief. About 13 million people are displaced and over 30 million need humanitarian assistance.
  • U.S. diplomacy and policy tools: Would give the United States a single, high‑level diplomat to lead sustained engagement, coordinate with the Special Envoy to the Middle East, and use existing diplomatic and statutory tools to address external support for the fighting.
  • Regional partners and stability: Encourages close work with African leaders and African‑led mediation to limit spillover that threatens neighboring countries.
  • Accountability and justice: Supports backing international mechanisms to investigate and pursue war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.
