What this bill does
H.Res. 1445 is a House resolution that formally condemns the July 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which killed 85 people and injured more than 300. It does not create new law or funding; instead, it expresses the House's position on the attack and its aftermath. Specifically, it honors the victims, expresses concern about the decades-long delay in resolving the case, calls for accountability for those responsible—including Iranian and Hezbollah operatives—and commends Argentina for designating Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations. It also urges other U.S. allies in Latin America and the Caribbean to take similar action, and calls on INTERPOL member countries to comply with existing arrest orders related to the case.
The resolution primarily affects U.S. foreign policy messaging rather than any specific group directly, though it speaks to the interests of Argentina's Jewish community, victims' families, and advocates for accountability regarding the bombing. It also signals a U.S. legislative stance toward Iran and Hezbollah, and toward Argentina's recent legal and diplomatic actions on the case.
The bill was introduced on July 21, 2026, by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. As a resolution rather than a bill establishing law, if passed it would express the House's sentiment but would not carry the force of law. Its next step would be committee consideration before any potential vote by the full House.
