Congressman Krishnamoorthi Responds To Ceasefire & Hostage Release Agreement Between Israel And Hamas

WASHINGTON-- Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement in response to the announcement of an agreement between Israel and Hamas

"I welcome the announcement of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas which will lead to the release of some of the remaining hostages while leaving open the possibility of a negotiated end to the war. We must build upon this progress to ensure the return of all hostages and the provision of humanitarian relief to Gaza. I hope that this ceasefire holds as we continue to pursue a durable two-state solution that will allow Israelis and Palestinians to live in security, prosperity, and peace."
