Summary of Bill HRES 176

Bill 119 H.Res. 176, also known as the "Encouraging the EU to Designate Resolution," is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to urge the European Union (EU) to designate Hezbollah in its entirety as a terrorist organization.

Hezbollah is a Lebanon-based militant group that has been involved in numerous terrorist activities around the world.

By urging the EU to designate Hezbollah in its entirety as a terrorist organization, the bill seeks to strengthen international efforts to combat terrorism and hold accountable those who support and enable terrorist activities. Overall, Bill 119 H.Res. 176 is a bipartisan effort to address the threat posed by Hezbollah and encourage the EU to take a stronger stance against terrorism.
