SCHUMER STATEMENT ON RETURN OF LAST ISRAELI HOSTAGE RAN GVILI

New York, NY - Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement on the return of Ran Gvili's remains to Israel:

"At long last, after 843 days, the body of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage held by Hamas, is home.

"It has taken far too long, but finally, all those who fought for the release of the hostages can breathe a sigh of relief.

"I will never forget meeting with the hostage families for the first time in Israel just days after October 7^th. They have fought bravely and tirelessly for the return of hostages and did not give up until every single hostage was brought home. Today my heart is with all of the hostages, their families, and those who advocated for their return who can finally begin on the path to recovery and healing."
