This resolution would call on the United States to officially recognize and denounce the Nakba and uphold Palestinian refugees' rights.

Show full summary
- Palestinian refugees and families would see a push to implement rights in UN General Assembly Resolution 194 and to resume UNRWA social services. UNRWA serves about 5.9 million Palestinian refugees.
- The measure highlights large-scale civilian harm and displacement, citing at least 72,737 killed in Gaza and over 1.9 million displaced there, and frames those events as central to the ongoing Nakba.
- U.S. policy and diplomacy would be urged to change by prohibiting U.S. weapons from being used to destroy Palestinian homes and by ending diplomatic support for forced removals, while officially commemorating May 15, 2026 and promoting public education about the Nakba.
