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

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, and calls for the sending of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Politicians
The resolution has received support from 17 Democratic representatives and no Republican support. President Biden has rejected calls for a ceasefire, saying, "As long as Hamas clings to its ideology of destruction, a cease-fire is not peace." Biden instead called for "humanitarian pauses."

Public
As of November 30, 2023, 65% of Americans supported a ceasefire according to a YouGov poll. "Ceasefire now" has become a slogan during American pro-Palestine protests. Category:Proposed legislation of the 118th United States Congress  Category:2023 in international relations
