Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff, a member of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, today released the following statement:
“Today Georgians and the whole world celebrate the freedom of Israeli hostages from captivity in Gaza. I remain in awe of their families, their refusal to despair, and their advocacy. For those finally able to see and hold their loved ones, like the family of Evyatar David, I am full of joy. To others, whose kin were killed while in captivity, my family and I grieve for your loss.
“Two years since the October 7th massacre, the release of the hostages and this cease-fire present hope for an enduring peace in Gaza. After two years of horror, countless thousands of civilian deaths, and unimaginable destruction, we must make every effort to ensure the peace holds. I commend the efforts of the Trump Administration and international partners to achieve this moment and will vigorously support the hard work ahead necessary to secure peace, security, and freedom for all people in the Middle East.”
