Today, Democratic Majority for Israel President & CEO Brian Romick released the following statement:
“Today, we are relieved and filled with emotion that the remaining living hostages have finally been reunited with their loved ones after enduring an unimaginable two-year nightmare. This is a moment for the world to unite in celebration.
“For those families who will receive the remains of their loved ones, our hearts continue to break for you. We pray that today brings a measure of closure after your profound loss. Hamas must uphold the agreement and swiftly release the hostages’ remains to their families.
“While there are many details and challenges to be worked out for the ceasefire to enter the next phase, we are optimistic that this moment will usher in an end to the fighting and a surge in needed humanitarian aid. We commend Israel for making impossible choices to reach this deal.
“As the implementation phase moves forward, President Trump and his administration must ensure that all elements of his plan are executed without delay or setback, especially ending the terror Hamas has inflicted on the people of the region for far too long.”
