Lee, Jayapal Statement on Death of Yahya Sinwar
WASHINGTON -U.S. Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-12) and Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) released the following statement regarding the death of terrorist Yahya Sinwar:
"Yahya Sinwar was the leader of Hamas who planned the brutal October 7 terrorist attack. His death should provide new opportunities to work towards peace in the Middle East. As we have maintained from the very beginning of this war, a ceasefire and hostage deal is key to resolving this conflict. Both sides should use this opportunity to agree to President Biden's proposal for a ceasefire, and immediately reunite surviving hostages with their families.
"History shows that the death of a terrorist leader does not necessarily mean the end of violence - it will only lead to peace and security if the strategy includes smart, principled, and tough diplomacy."
