“Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists massacred over 1,000 civilians; kidnapped innocent men, women, and children; and committed brutal atrocities. Today we remember and honor the lives lost, while we celebrate the freedom of the surviving hostages who are finally back with their loved ones.
“I continue to vigorously support the hard work necessary to secure peace, security, and freedom for Israelis, Palestinians, and all people in the Middle East. May the memories of those lost on October 7, 2023 forever be a blessing.”
