Democratic Majority for Israel President & CEO Brian Romick today released the following statement:
“Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that has American blood on its hands. Israel is taking justifiable action to ensure Hamas leaders pay a price for October 7th atrocities and their reign of terror.
“For nearly two years, Hamas has had every opportunity to bring the war that they started to an end. They have continually refused. Today, they reaffirmed their intention to continue threatening the Israeli people by refusing to lay down their arms.
“The international community must now use this moment to put more pressure on Hamas to finally accept the ceasefire and hostage deal. Ultimately, there can be no lasting peace until Hamas is removed from power and every hostage is returned.”
