## Summary

**Prevent a U.S. takeover of Gaza.** This resolution would state the Senate's view that the United States should not deploy U.S. Armed Forces, risk U.S. lives, or use U.S. funds to "take over" Gaza. It is a non-binding policy statement reflecting concerns about displacement, regional fallout, and legal authorization requirements. - U.S. service members: Would express Senate opposition to sending U.S. Armed Forces into Gaza for the purpose of taking control, and to risking U.S. lives for that objective. - U.S. taxpayers: Would declare that U.S. funds should not be used to carry out a takeover of Gaza. - Palestinian people: The resolution's preamble affirms Palestinians' right to self-determination and raises concern about the forcible displacement of about 2 million Gazans. - Regional relations: It warns that a U.S. takeover could damage ties with partners and could validate rhetoric that might increase regional radicalization.
